Instructions

• 1.   If you are using dried beans:
  
  Soak them for 12 hours in three times their volume of cold water, then rinse them and cook for 1 hour in a large volume of salted water.
  
  Whether using dried beans or canned, rinse and drain them afterwards.
• 2.   In a saucepan, heat the oil and sauté the peeled and finely chopped garlic and shallot for a few minutes over medium heat.
• 3.   Wash the broccoli florets and add them to the saucepan, along with the white beans and 500 ml of vegetable broth (or just enough to cover the ingredients).
• 4.   Bring to a boil, then reduce to medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• 5.   Blend using an immersion blender or a regular blender.
• 6.   I wanted a thick soup, but if you prefer it thinner, add more broth at the end of cooking.
  
  I use unsalted vegetable broth, so I add salt when serving, adjust according to your broth.
  
  For a change, I added 1 tsp of soy sauce to each bowl before serving, it was very tasty!
  
  Serve the soup warm with seeds, croutons, or your preferred toppings.
  
  It can also be enjoyed cold.
