Number Of Ingredients 9

3 Tbsp unsalted butter (or vegan butter for vegan option)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Two 15-ounce cans cannellini or Great Northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth (or veggie broth for a vegan option)
Salt and black pepper
Optional: grated Parmesan
Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Steps:

Melt the butter in a medium saucepan. Add the garlic and cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 3-5 minutes.
Add the beans, chicken broth, thyme, and onion powder and simmer over medium-high heat until the broth is reduced by about half, about 5 minutes.
Puree the bean mixture in a blender or food processor (I used this one).
Season with salt and pepper, top with optional Parmesan and parsley, and serve warm.
Store puree in the refrigerator for up to three days.
