Got this from a Happy Hour friend, who grew up on this. All the garlic smells WONDERFUL simmering, but does not have a strong taste at serving. All the measurements are abouts - 3 cups/2 cups - whatever. It's SOUP, not brain surgery ! Flavors improve after sitting a day or 2. I have not tried to freeze. Ingredients:
3 cups onions, chopped |
2 cups carrots, sliced |
1 1/2 cups celery, sliced |
30 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed |
6 tablespoons olive oil |
64 ounces chicken broth |
4 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans, rinsed and drained (i put in 1 can without draining ) |
2 teaspoons dried sage |
salt and pepper |
crouton (optional) |
bacon bits (optional) |
Directions:
1. Saute onion, carrot, celery, and garlic in the olive oil in a LARGE soup pot for about 10 minutes.
2. Add broth, beans, and sage.
3. Simmer 1 hour (or more).
4. Add salt and coarse ground pepper.
5. Puree soup with immersion blender (or food processor in batches).
6. Serve with croutons and/or bacon bits.
