*Notes
Our friend Barbara Finizio from Florida shared this delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make soup recipe. As an alternative to pureeing the beans, keep them whole to change the texture of the soup.
Directions
• Drain and rinse the cannellini beans. Set aside.
• Sauté the garlic in olive oil on medium heat until golden.
• In a blender combine tomato basil sauce, onion powder, 3 tablespoons grated cheese, water, salt, pepper, cannellini beans, and sautéed garlic and olive oil into a blender. Blend until you reach a creamy consistency.
• Pour into a small pot and heat on medium-low.
• Serve in soup bowls, top with remaining cheese, and garnish with fresh basil.
