Broccoli and White Bean Soup

     The weekends are a big game of catch up.  Catch up on cleaning, laundry, shopping, and errands.  Making lunch for the week has to happen...but quick!  I looked for a crock pot recipe this week, but nothing stood out to me.  Instead, I decided to go with a soup recipe from Whole Living.  It was super fast...let's just hope it is also delicious.

Broccoli and White Bean Soup

Ingredients
2 heads of broccoli, chopped
2 cans of cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
4 cups of vegetable broth
1 onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbs olive oil
Parmesan Cheese

Method
1. Steam the broccoli until tender.
2. Heat the oil over medium heat in a medium pot.  Saute the onion and garlic until tender, about 6 minutes.
3. Add the beans and broth to the pot.  Bring to a simmer.
4. Stir in broccoli and then use an immersion blender to puree the soup until it is smooth.
5. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  Serve with Parmesan cheese sprinkled over the top.
