This is a great core soup.
1 lb. dried white cannellini beans
4 cups sliced yellow onions (3 onions)
1/4 cup olive oil (I used 2 tablespoons)
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large branch fresh rosemary (6 to 7 inches)
2 quarts chicken broth
1 bay leaf
2 teas. kosher salt
1/2 teas freshly ground black pepper
In a medium bowl, cover the beans with water by at least 1 inch and leave them in the refrigerator for 6 hours or overnight. Drain
In a large stockpot over low to medium heat, saute the onions with the olive oil until onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook over low heat for 3 more minutes. Add the drained white beans, rosemary, chicken stock, and bay leaf. Cover, bring to boil, and simmer for 40 min or until beans are tender and soft. Remove the rosemary branch and the bay leaf. Salt and pepper to taste. Pass the soup through the coarsest blade of a food mill, or place in bowl of food processor with blade and pulse. I used a hand held potato masher and mashed the beans. It worked great. This has a wonderful flavor.
