1-2 tsp italian seasoning
1/4 tsp ground black pepper - more or less to taste

1 can(s) cannelini beans
1 - 2 c tomato juice
parmesan cheese for garnish

Steps:

  • 1. Melt butter in a large 3 qt pot or Dutch oven. Toss in the onion, celery and bell pepper. Saute until just barely tender. Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, black pepper and red pepper flakes. Stir and cook for about a minute being careful not to let it scorch or burn.
