  • I recommend trying this very tasty soup, a recipe that comes from Tuscany. It's a traditional country dish of that region. The night before, sort through and rinse the beans. Soak them in water and leave them to soften overnight. The next day, drain the water, fill the pot with fresh water, and set it on the stove. Once the beans come to a boil, cook them over low heat for 20 minutes. Drain again, refill the pot with fresh water, and bring it back to a boil. Add the bay leaf and cook until the beans are tender—this will take 1.5 to 2 hours. Then drain the water and let the beans cool. Put about three-quarters of the cooked beans in a blender and process them into a smooth purée, adding a little water if needed. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and sauté the onion, then add the carrot and celery. Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes. Next, add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, and thyme to the skillet and let everything cook for another 7–8 minutes. Set a pot of water over the heat and bring it to a boil. Add the bean purée, the remaining whole beans, and the sautéed vegetables. Stir everything well and simmer for 10–15 minutes over low heat. After that, the white bean soup is ready to ladle into bowls. Drizzle a little olive oil into each bowl and serve.
