Ingredients
- 2 tsp Olive oil
- 1 tsp Onion, grated
- 3 stalks Celery, thinly sliced
- 1 small clove Garlic, grated
- 3 15 oz cans Cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
- 2 cups Chicken broth or stock
- 2-1/2 tsp Dash™ Original Seasoning
- Member's Mark™ Ground Black Pepper, to taste
- Member's Mark™ Sea Salt Grinder, to taste
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and celery; cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic, stirring occasionally until aromatic, about 2 minutes.
- Add the beans and broth to the pot. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes.
- If you prefer your soup to be a combination of smooth and chunky, remove 2 cups of the soup and set aside. Using an immersion blender, process the remaining soup in the pot until smooth. Add the 2 cups of soup back into the pot and stir. (If you'd prefer your entire soup to be smooth, just skip this step and puree the entire pot of soup.)
- Stir in the Dash™ Original Seasoning, Member's Mark™ Ground Black Pepper, and Member's Mark™ Sea Salt Grinder until combined.
