Easy, peasy, one-two-threesy.
4 cups dried white beans (I used limas)
1 large white onion
1 head garlic
1 cup milk
8 cups (?) water
2 tsp bullion (optional)
2 sprigs sage leaves & twice as many basil leaves, fresh
or dried
salt & pepper
Soak your beans overnight.
Then put beans, roughly chopped onion, peeled garlic cloves, sage,
basil, and water in your soup pot. (8
cups’ water is an approximation – I think I started w/about that much, but had to add
more when it boiled down. You just want
to generously cover the beans.) Bring
to a boil and simmer for at least 2 hours.
Once the beans are soft, blend with an immersion blender or
in batches in a regular blender (then return to the pot). After blending, add milk, bullion if
desired, and salt & pepper to taste.
Served with shredded parmesan and homemade garlic croutons.
