Simple soup with terrific flavor. Will make again.
Used 1.5 chopped yellow onions Used two cans of white beans (small white beans), partially puree one can with broth. Added 6 cups of broth: 4 cups chicken broth plus 2 cups vegetable broth Used ~ 2tsp minced rosemary Delicious and easy!
Used "Italian Seasoning" instead of rosemary because that's what was on hand. Doubled (2cans beans, 1can broth) and omitted onion because I was lazy. Great for last-minute lunch!
