White Bean Soup

Prep Time: 10 mins Cook Time: 1hr-2hrs

Ingredients

• 2 cups dried white beans
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 2 celery stalks, diced
• 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
• 4 cups water
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
• 1 tablespoon Folona Bone Broth Powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions 

1. Rinse the dried white beans and soak them overnight in water. Drain the beans before using.
2. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent.
3. Add the diced carrots and celery to the pot, and cook for a few more minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
4. Drain the soaked white beans and add them to the pot. Stir well to combine with the vegetables.
5. Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and water. Add the bay leaves, dried thyme, and dried rosemary. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 1 to 1 ½ hours, or until the beans are tender and cooked through.
6. Once the beans are cooked, remove the bay leaves from the pot. Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, carefully puree about half of the soup until smooth. This step helps to thicken the soup while still leaving some whole beans for texture.
7. Return the pureed soup to the pot, and stir in the Folona Bone Broth Powder. This powder will enhance the flavor and provide additional nutrients to the soup. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for another 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
8. Serve the White Bean Soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley. You can also add a drizzle of olive oil or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor if desired.
