Delicious Great Northern Bean Soup Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 large onion, chopped
• 5 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 carrots, chopped
• 1 stalk celery, chopped
• 4 cups vegetable broth
• 1 large potato, chopped
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 pinch ground thyme
• 2 (15 ounce) cans great Northern beans, rinsed and drained

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Sauté the diced onion and minced garlic in the hot oil until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant, approximately 5 minutes.
2. Add the chopped carrots and celery to the softened onion mixture. Pour vegetable broth into the stockpot; then incorporate the diced potato, bay leaves, dried basil, sea salt, freshly ground black pepper, and dried thyme. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer, cooking until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
3. Gently stir in the Great Northern beans into the simmering soup; continue to simmer until the beans are heated through and tender, for an additional 20 minutes.
