Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add chopped onion, carrots, and celery, then sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic cloves to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the rinsed and drained white beans.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- Season the soup with salt and pepper to taste before serving hot, optionally garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil.
Notes
For extra flavor, you can add a bay leaf to the soup while it simmers, removing it before serving. A pinch of red pepper flakes can also be added for a subtle kick.
