Zuppa Fagioli
This Tuscan soup is hearty and satisfying, great to simmer on a slow day while reading a good book. We think it's much better than a Minestrone anyday!
"Hearty and satisfying"
Ingredients
2 cups dried white navy beans
2 Tbs olive oil
2 medium leeks (chopped)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
3 carrots (diced)
5 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 1/2 tsp fresh rosemary (chopped)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Juice of 1/2 lemon
2 Tbs olive oil
2 medium leeks (chopped)
2 stalks celery (chopped)
3 garlic cloves (finely minced)
3 carrots (diced)

A warm and comforting dish to enjoy on a lazy Sunday.
Beans need to be soaked for 4 hours or overnight.

Puree 3 cups of soup in a blender or food processor and pour back into the pot. Add lemon juice, and more salt and pepper if needed.
