Notes

  • Cannellini beans, great northern beans, or navy beans all work well for this recipe.
  • Use vegetable broth to keep the recipe vegetarian.
  • Add spinach, kale, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers for extra flavor.
  • Serve with crusty bread, pasta, grilled chicken, shrimp, or roasted vegetables.
  • Mash a small portion of the beans while cooking for an even creamier texture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
