Main Ingredients
  • 5 large garlic cloves
  • 2 cans white beans rinsed and drained
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion chopped

  • 2 medium celery stalks chopped
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

Method
 

Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. Add the minced garlic cloves to the pot and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
  3. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the rinsed and drained white beans.
  4. Reduce heat to low, cover, and let the soup simmer for at least 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. 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.
