Ho To Make It
  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and chopped carrots, and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  2. Stir in the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, thyme leaves, and coriander. Continue sautéing for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure the garlic doesn't burn.
  3. Add the drained cannellini beans to the pot, followed by the 2 liters of stock. Stir well, bring the mixture to a boil, and then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let the soup cook for about 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
  4. Using an immersion blender, blend the soup until it’s mostly smooth, leaving some chunks for texture if desired. For a chunkier soup, blend only half of the mixture.
  5. Stir in the heavy whipping cream and let the soup simmer for an additional 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Ladle the soup into bowls and serve hot, with crusty grilled bread on the side. Optionally, drizzle some olive oil or garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for added flavor.
  7. Enjoy your creamy, fragrant White Bean Rosemary Soup!
