Ingredients
  

2 cups cooked white beans (cannellini or great northern)

4 cups vegetable broth

1 medium onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 medium carrots, diced

2 celery stalks, diced

1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried)

Zest of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons lemon juice

1 teaspoon salt (to taste)

½ teaspoon black pepper (to taste)

2 tablespoons olive oil

Optional: Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables have softened.

    Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary to the pot, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

      Stir in the cooked white beans, vegetable broth, lemon zest, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

        Reduce the heat and simmer the soup for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

          After simmering, using an immersion blender, blend the soup until smooth for a creamy texture, or leave it chunky if preferred.

            Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.

              Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
