Time 40m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
2 limes (juice and zest)
3 garlic cloves (chopped)
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken)
1/3 cup chopped onion
1/4 cup cilantro (a good handful, chopped)
salt and pepper

Steps:

In a stock pot, combine the oil, onion, and garlic. When onions and garlic cook down a bit, add the beans and lime zest. Cook for another minute or two.
Add in the stock. Then add the cilantro and lime juice.
Cover with a lid and bring to a slight boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes.
Use an immersion blender (or cool slightly and use your regular blender) to make the soup creamy and smooth.
Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Set aside with the lid on tight to keep the soup hot while you finish making any other sides.
