Serves: 4 | Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
For the soup:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 sweet onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 2 (14 ounce) cans cannellini beans, drained & rinsed
- 3 cups low sodium chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 dollop Greek yogurt
For the spiced brown butter:
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon curry powder
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cardamom
- ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
Steps:
For the soup:
-
Heat olive oil in a heavy bottom pot. Add the onions to the pot and stir. Stir in the thyme, pepper and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook in medium high heat until the onions begin to caramelize, about 5 to 10 minutes. Drop in the garlic once you start to see the onions turning light brown color.
-
Put in the beans, stirring so that beans are mixed well with the onions, garlic, etc. then pour in the broth. Bring the mixture to a boil and then reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, use an immersion blender and blend leaving it slightly chunky for a rustic soup.
-
Drizzle with the spiced brown butter and dollop with the Greek yogurt.
For the spiced brown butter:
- Heat the butter over medium heat in a saucepan, stirring constantly for about 5 minutes until you see the butter turn brown. Stir in the curry, cardamom, and garlic powder and stir for about 10 seconds, then remove from heat. Keep stirring for another 20 seconds. Drizzle on the soup before serving.
