A little bit of change to a recipe from Bon Appetit. I also liked it made into a little more of a chili - style w/a can of diced tomatoes & chiles. Regardless, I think I'll try it with a bit of meat added in next time, too. Maybe ham if I leave it a true bean soup, or chicken/turkey for a chili-style soup.
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cups chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 medium turnips, peeled & chopped
1/2 tablespoon dried rosemary
1/2 tablespoon dried rubbed sage
7 cups water
3 tablespoons powdered chicken base
30 ounces cannellini beans, drained
30 ounces garbanzo beans, drained
1 lb chopped spinach
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese (optional)
Directions:
1. Heat oil on med-high. Saute onions, garlic, turnips, rosemary, & sage approx 15 min until tender. Add broth & beans. Bring to boil, then reduce heat to med-low & simmer 10 minute.
2. Working in batches, puree 1/2 or more of soup in blender until smooth. Return to pot. Mix in spinach until wilted. Season soup w/salt & pepper, to tasted. Stir in parmesan or top soups individually.
