GIADA'S TUSCAN WHITE BEAN AND GARLIC SOUP
Love, love, love this recipe! It's done in less than 20 minutes and is so flavorful and creamy. Perfect with a salad and garlic bread or a grilled cheese! I have made my own alterations/additions to this recipe. Here's a tip on the sage: sometimes I'll use dried sage instead of the fresh sage leaf and in that case I start with about a teaspoon and add more to taste if need be. Also, I use my immersion blender and puree the soup right in the pot rather than using a regular blender...Giada just uses a regular blender, either way works fine! Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, add the olive oil. When hot, add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and tender, about 10 minutes.
- Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for another minute.
- Add 2 cans cannellini beans, vegetable broth, and rosemary. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to a safe temperature for pureeing. Using an immersion blender or transferring the soup to a blender in batches, completely puree mixture. If the soup seems too thick, add additional broth (the soup should be thinner than baby food but thicker than a brothy soup).
- Return to medium-low heat. Stir in the remaining two cans beans and, if using, the heavy whipping cream. Return to a simmer.
- Taste and season with additional kosher salt and freshly ground pepper if desired. Serve with additional chopped fresh rosemary and a drizzle of olive oil if you like.

ROASTED GARLIC AND WHITE BEAN DIP WITH ROSEMARY
The idea of adding a whole head of garlic to a dip might scare you, but compared to its bracing raw counterpart, roasted garlic is sweet and mellow. This dip is garnished with a sprig of sizzled rosemary that's for more than just looks: Frying the herb infuses the olive oil with its fragrance. Spoon the remainder over your finished bowl for a hit of rosemary you wouldn't get with just the minced leaves, then scoop it up with warm pita, cucumber spears, and carrot sticks.

Steps:
- Roast the garlic: Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel off most of the garlic's outermost skin but leave the whole head intact. Trim about 1/4 inch off the top of the garlic to expose the cloves. Place the garlic on a large piece of aluminum foil, then drizzle 1 teaspoon olive oil over the exposed cloves and close the foil into a pouch. Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, until you can pierce the center of the head with a knife. Let cool slightly.
- Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves into the bowl of a food processor. Add the white beans, 4 tablespoons olive oil, lemon juice, rosemary leaves, black pepper, cayenne (if using), hot water and salt. Purée until smooth, then taste for salt, pepper, rosemary and lemon juice. Adjust as necessary. Transfer to a serving dish.
- Heat remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add the remaining rosemary sprig - it should sizzle. Cook until brown and crisp, flipping once, about 1 minute per side, then transfer to the top of the dip as a garnish. Pour or spoon the remaining olive oil, now infused with rosemary, over the top of the dip. Sprinkle with cayenne for a little additional heat.

Steps:
- Place beans in large pot. Add enough water to cover beans by 2 inches. Soak beans overnight. Drain well.
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Place garlic heads in small dish. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon oil. Wrap dish in foil. Bake until garlic is very tender and golden brown, about 1 hour 15 minutes. Remove garlic from oven. Cool; peel garlic cloves.
- Place beans, 5 cups water, broth, sage, rosemary and 1 tablespoon chopped garlic in large pot. Bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer uncovered until beans are tender, about 1 hour 20 minutes. Drain beans, reserving cooking liquid.
- Combine beans, roasted garlic, remaining 3 tablespoons oil and lemon juice in processor. Blend until coarse puree forms. Thin to desired consistency with some reserved cooking liquid. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful and economical than canned beans. Remember to sort and rinse the beans before cooking.
- Roast the garlic: Roasting the garlic mellows its flavor and adds a lovely depth of flavor to the soup. You can roast the garlic ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Sauté the vegetables: Sautéing the vegetables in olive oil before adding them to the soup helps to develop their flavor and add a nice golden color.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The vegetable broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality broth. You can make your own vegetable broth or use a store-bought broth.
- Season the soup to taste: Season the soup with salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You can also add a splash of lemon juice or vinegar for a bit of brightness.
