Tuscany White Bean Soup

Ingredients

30 gr onion
1 gr garlic
45 ml olive oil
250 gr beans
1,900 ml water
2 bay leaves
1 gr basil
1 gr salt
1 gr pepper
3 gr parsley
2 onions

Instructions

Saute onion and garlic in 2 tablespoons of olive oil until soft, stirring often. Add bean, water, bay leaves, and basil. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to a simmmer, and cover. Continue cooking until beans are tender, about 2 hours, adding more liquid if necessary and stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper.

Cool soup, puree beans in a blender or food processor fitted with steel blade. Return pureed soup to pot; reheat over moderate heat, stirring often. Blend in remaining olive oil. Serve soup hot, garnished with chopped parsley and green onions. If soup is too thick, add water or chicken broth.
