1 lb white dried cannellini beans
4 cups onions, sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 large fresh rosemary sprig
2 quarts chicken stock
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Steps:

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 the onions are translucent, 10 to 15 minutes. Add the garlic and cook over low heat for 3 more minutes. Add the drained white beans, chopped rosemary, chicken stock, and bay leaf. Cover, bring to a boil, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, until the beans are very soft. Remove the bay leaf. Blend half the soup. Return the soup to the pot to reheat and add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot.
