[shouldn't the plural of "dominatrix" be "dominatrices?"]

Craving Clouds

White Bean Soup
olive oil
small onion, chopped
garlic cloves
1/2 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. dried rosemary
1/4 tsp. dried thyme
1/4 tsp. salt
pepper
15 ounce can cannellini or great northern beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat.  Add onion, celery, garlic, basil, rosemary, thyme, and salt; reduce to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes, or until vegetables are softened.

Add beans and stir to combine.  Using a large metal spoon, transfer about 3/4 of the bean mixture to a blender.  Add broth and puree until smooth.  Return mixture to the saucepan, stir to combine, and bring to a simmer just to heat through.  Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.  Serve warm.

(I ate two bowls.  Thanks, Sis.)
