Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cups vegetable broth (or 1 cube vegetable bouillon dissolved in 2 cups hot water)
2 cups small white beans (canned or cooked)
1 (13 ounce) jar artichoke hearts, chopped (packed in water, drained)
1 roasted red pepper, chopped and drained (packed in water)
1/2 medium onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
lemon juice (one small lemon's worth)
2 sage leaves, chopped
1 bay leaf
1/2 teaspoon salt
black pepper

Steps:

In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion in the olive oil until translucent (approx. 3-5 minutes).

Add the vegetable broth and beans. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat and simmer for five minutes or until the beans are heated through. In batches, transfer soup to a blender and puree until smooth, or use an immersion blender right in the pot.
