Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 3 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
- 2 celery stalks, sliced
- 2 cups canned white beans (such as cannellini or great northern), rinsed and drained
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.5 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and celery to the pot and cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the white beans, vegetable broth, dried thyme, dried rosemary, black pepper, and salt to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the carrots are tender.
Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it's partially pureed, leaving some of the vegetables and beans for texture. Alternatively, transfer half of the soup to a blender, blend until smooth, and return it to the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve warm and enjoy!
