Preparation: 15 minutes

Cooking: 1 hour and 30 minutes

Total: 1 hour and 45 minutes

Serves:

Ingredients

1 cup dried Great Northern beans, soaked overnight
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, chopped
2 carrots, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
3 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups vegetable broth
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Drain and rinse the soaked Great Northern beans.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Add the beans, vegetable broth, bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour, or until the beans are tender.
Using an immersion blender or a regular blender, blend about half of the soup until smooth. This will help thicken the soup.
Return the blended soup to the pot and stir well. Simmer for an additional 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.
