Tuscan White Bean and Roasted Garlic Soup (Crock Pot Recipe) Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-9604

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb dry Cannellini beans, rinsed
1 head garlic, peeled
8 cups water
4 sage leaves, plus more for garnish
2 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp chicken "Better Than Bouillon", or cube (vegs us vegetable bouillon)
kosher salt and white pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place beans, 3 cloves of the garlic, water and a few sage leaves in the crock pot; cover and set to HIGH 4 hours, or until beans are soft. Don't add salt. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400°. Place remaining garlic cloves in the center of a 7x7 inch square of aluminum foil. Cover garlic with olive oil and a little salt. Seal aluminum tightly and place in the oven 25-30 minutes, until garlic is soft and golden. Remove from oven and set aside until the beans are done. When the beans are soft, add the bouillon and mix well until dissolved, then carefully some of the beans and liquid along with the roasted garlic to the blender. Blend until smooth and pour it back into the crock pot. Repeat with the remaining beans until you get the texture you desire. You can also use an immersion blender if you have one. Taste for salt and adjust as needed. Serve with fresh sage and white pepper on top and if you wish, some whole roasted garlic cloves on top. (I reserved a few) Makes about 7 3/4 cups. **Dried beans contain a toxin called phytohaemagglutinin which is usually destroyed if boiled in water for 10 minutes. The slow cooker will not kill off this toxin unless they have been preliminarily boiled. Cannellini (white kidney beans) contain some of the highest levels of this toxin.

This soup is a little bland for my taste. I added some extra salt and pepper and it was much better.

I'm not a huge fan of white beans, but this soup changed my mind. It's so creamy and flavorful.

Easy to make and delicious! I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth and it was still great.
