Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Peel and dice the onion and garlic. Add them to the pot and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Pour in the broth and bring to a gentle boil. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the mixture simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 7

Add the green beans and canned white beans to the pot. Stir well and simmer for another 15 minutes, or until all the vegetables are tender.

Remove the bay leaf and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve hot with crusty bread for a complete meal.
