Follow The Directions

01

Step

Gather all ingredients and prepare them as described. (5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed stockpot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Stir in diced carrot and drained corn. Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally. (10 minutes)

03

Step

Pour in chicken broth (or vegetable broth), rinsed cannellini beans, diced tomatoes, dried thyme, dried summer savory, and fresh parsley. Bring to a gentle simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and allow to simmer for 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld together beautifully. (70 minutes)

04

Step

Remove the pot from the heat and allow the soup to cool slightly for easier handling. Carefully transfer approximately half of the soup to a blender or food processor. Puree until smooth and creamy. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Return the pureed soup to the stockpot with the remaining chunky soup. Stir well to combine and heat gently until warmed through. Taste and adjust seasoning with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. (10 minutes)

06

Step

Serve hot, garnished with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, a sprinkle of fresh parsley, and a crusty piece of bread for dipping. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken stock.
If you prefer a thicker soup, puree a larger portion of the soup or add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons cold water) during the last 15 minutes of simmering.
To make this soup vegetarian, use vegetable broth in place of chicken broth.
This soup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
