INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 large carrot, chopped
  • 1 (10 ounce) can golden corn, drained
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 5 cups chicken broth
  • 1 (15.5 ounce) can white beans
  • 1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried summer savory
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley

DIRECTIONS

  1. Heat oil in a large stock pot over medium-high heat. Saute garlic and onion until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in carrot and corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook another 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in chicken broth, beans, tomatoes, thyme, savory, and parsley, and bring to a low boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook approximately one hour.
  2. Separate soup into 2 equal portions, and allow to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, puree half of the batch in a blender or food processor until smooth. Return both batches to the stockpot, and heat until warmed through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

FOOTNOTES

  • Caution
  • Never place hot soup in blender or food processor.
