badniki


List of Ingredients




1 1/2 cups dried cannellini or other white beans
1 bay leaf
5 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 stalk celery, finely chopped
3 medium tomatoes, peeled and finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves, or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
3 1/2 cups boiling water
salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra virgin oil, to serve



Recipe



Pick over the beans discarding any particles. Soak the beans in a large bowl of cold water overnight. Drain. Place the beans in a large saucepan of water, bring to a boil and cook for 20 minutes. Drain. Return the beans to the pan, cover with cold water and bring to a boil again. Add the bay leaf, and cook until the beans are tender, 1 to 2 hours. Drain again. Remove the bay leaf. Puree about three quarters of the beans in a food processor, or pass through a food mill, adding a little water if necessary. Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Stir in the onion, and cook until it softens. Add the carrot and celery, and cook for 5 minutes more. Stir in the tomatoes, garlic and thyme. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes more, stirring often. Pour in the boiling water. Stir in the beans and the bean puree. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with extra virgin olive oil. White Bean Soup serves 6.
