Ingredients

Scale
    • 2 cups white beans
    • soaked overnight
    • 4 cups vegetable broth
    • 1 large onion
    • diced
    • 2 shallots
    • minced
    • 4 cloves garlic
    • minced
    • 1 lemon
    • zested and juiced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme
    • chopped
    • 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
    • chopped
    • 1 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
    • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced shallots; sauté until golden brown, about 5‑7 minutes.
  2. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Add soaked beans, vegetable broth, lemon zest, thyme, rosemary, and optional chili flakes. Bring to a boil.
  4. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook for 90 minutes or until beans are tender, stirring occasionally.
  5. Stir in lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with extra fresh herbs and optional toasted bread.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor
  • replace half of the vegetable broth with low‑sodium chicken broth. Adjust chili flakes for desired heat. Leftovers taste even better the next day as flavors continue to meld.
