Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1/2 cup dried white beans, soaked overnight or 1 (15-ounce) can no-salt-added cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
  • 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 1/4 pounds), peeled and diced
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 2 stalks celery, chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary

Instruction

  • Combine beans, potatoes, onion, celery, bay leaf, sage and rosemary in a medium pot with 7 cups water (if using canned beans, use only 5 cups water).
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to medium and simmer until beans and potatoes are completely tender, 45 to 60 minutes (about 30 minutes if using canned). Discard bay leaf.
  • Purée soup using an upright or immersion blender, carefully blending in batches if necessary.
  • Add warm water, if needed, to reach desired consistency. Keep warm until ready to serve.
