Carrot and white bean soup
This was such a hit with the kiddos that I needed to write it down.
1 tbs roasted garlic infused olive oil
4 large carrots, chopped (or 7 small ones in our case)
2 cans drained and rinsed cannellini beans
5 c. chicken broth
salt
pepper
dried thyme
Cook the carrots in olive oil over medium heat for a few minutes
Add the remaining ingredients and spices to taste and bring to a boil
Simmer until the carrots are tender 15- 20 minutes and remove from heat
Puree the soup with a stick blender and taste for seasonings, making adjustments as necessary
I made this the night before and reheated over medium low heat. I added only an ounce of Parmesan or other hard white CSA cheese in our case, to the soup. It put this soup over the top! Serve with salad and toasted bread sprinkled with cheese and you've got a perfect meal. The kiddos loved this. One had two giant bowls of the stuff. Another delicious, delightful meal.

Sounds delicious!! I want to try but don't have garlic infused olive oil. Suggestions?

ReplyDeleteEasy, soften some crushed garlic in olive oil in the pan first over medium low heat. Only cook for a minute or two, you don't want to burn the garlic. Then add the carrots and cook.
Thank you! This one is going on the menu. Perfect for Elin too! :)
