Instructions

Prepare the beans: Pour one can of cannellini beans along with its liquid into a blender and purée until smooth. Drain the other two cans of beans.
Sauté garlic: Mince the garlic cloves. In a soup pot, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté the minced garlic for about one minute, or until it becomes very fragrant.
Combine ingredients: Add the puréed beans, the two drained cans of beans, broth, dried rosemary, dried thyme, crushed red pepper, and freshly cracked black pepper to the pot. Stir everything together until well combined.
Cook the soup: Cover the pot with a lid and increase heat to medium-high to bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, remove the lid, and let the soup simmer gently for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Thicken and season: Slightly smash some of the beans in the soup to thicken the texture further. Taste and add salt if needed, depending on your broth’s salt content.
Serve: Serve the soup hot, ideally accompanied by crusty bread for dipping.

Notes

You can use either vegetable or chicken broth based on your preference.
If you want a spicier kick, increase the amount of crushed red pepper flakes.
This soup pairs excellently with crusty bread or a simple side salad.
Adjust seasoning after simmering to taste, as broth sodium levels vary.
For a smoother texture, blend more of the beans or use an immersion blender after cooking.
