Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks, chopped
  • 6 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion, carrots, and celery and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute more, until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth, add the cannellini beans, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
  4. Using an immersion blender, partially blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency (or transfer about 2 cups of the soup to a blender and blend until smooth, then return to the pot).
  5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For a richer flavor, add a Parmesan cheese rind to the soup while simmering. Remove before serving. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.
