How to make Rosemary and Roasted Garlic White Bean Soup
Roasted garlic:
Step 1: On top of the exposed garlic, drizzle the oil. Wrap the garlic in aluminium foil. Place in a preheated 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C oven and roast for about 60 to 90 minutes or until super tender or lightly golden brown.
Soup:
Step 2: In a large saucepan, heat the oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the onions to the pan and cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes or until the onions have softened. Then, add the garlic and continue to cook for another minute until aromatic.
Step 3: Pour in the broth and add the beans and rosemary. Bring everything to a boil, then decrease the heat and simmer for about 5 minutes.
Step 4: Take the roasted garlic out of the oven when done and squeeze it out of the heads into the soup. Using a blender, food processor, or a stick blender, puree the soup. Then, stir in the Parmesan and lemon juice. To taste, season with salt and pepper.
Notes:
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
Feel free to use dried beans for this recipe. Just soak them overnight and cook following the package directions.
Enjoy the soup topped with bacon.
You can roast the garlic a day before for a quick meal.
