We wanted the slow-cooked flavor of a great white bean soup, but we wanted it ready in time for a weeknight dinner.

White Bean Soup with Rosemary Croutons

WHY THIS RECIPE WORKS

A puree of canned cannellini beans added body to our White Bean Soup with Rosemary Croutons without requiring a lengthy simmer. Cooking the onion and garlic in reserved bacon fat added potent smoky flavor to the dish.
