Tips

This is a basic soup. Feel free to adjust ingredients to add mroe flavor. You can also add in diced chicken, etc. but you will need to adjust the nutritional information to reflect correct data.


Directions

Pour olive oil into your soup pot (I use an enameled cast iron pot). When oil is heated, pour in your chopped onions and sautee until softened. Add in garlic and sautee for another 2-3 minutes. Add in all remaining ingredients. Simmer for up to 30 minutes. When beans are softened, use a food processor or immersian blender to blend all ingredients. You can leave some bits or make it a completely creamy soup. You can also lessen the amount of chicken stock if you want a thicker soup. I added in herbes de provence for extra flavor.
