Ingredients

Scale
  • 250 grams cannellini beans (soaked overnight)

  • 1/2 onion (minced)
  • 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
  • 1 carrot (thinly sliced)
  • 1 stick celery (finely chopped)
  • Zest and juice of 1 lemon
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
  • Optional: 500 ml vegetable stock

Instructions

  1. Soak the cannellini beans overnight.
  2. In a large pot over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté minced onion until translucent (about 5 minutes). Add chopped garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Stir in sliced carrot and chopped celery; cook for about 5-7 minutes until softened.
  4. Drain and rinse soaked beans, then add them to the pot along with vegetable stock (if using) and enough water to cover by an inch. Season with salt and pepper.
