How to Make Mediterranean White Bean Soup

  1. Heat 2 cups of vegetable broth in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil.
  2. Add 1 lb potatoes (peeled and diced) and 1 cup carrots (chopped). Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
  3. While the potatoes and carrots cook, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  4. Add 1 large onion (chopped) and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Reduce heat to low.
  5. Add 4 cloves garlic (minced) and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  6. Pour in 1 cup of vegetable broth and bring to a boil.
  7. Add the cooked potatoes, carrots, and their cooking liquid to the pot.
  8. Stir in 1 teaspoon dried thyme and 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary.
  9. In a food processor or blender, combine 2 (15-ounce) cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed) with the remaining 1 cup of vegetable broth. Blend until completely smooth.
  10. Add the pureed beans to the soup and bring to a gentle boil.
  11. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Adjust consistency with additional broth if needed.
  12. Stir in 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice.
  13. Serve hot, garnished with crusty bread or croutons for dipping.
