Ingredients

• 1 cup - dry white beans (soaked for a couple of hours and cooked)
• 1 tbsp - canola or other vegetable oil
• 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup - white wine
• 12 cloves garlic, ground

How to Make Garlicky White Bean Soup

• Heat oil in a saucepan. Add the onions and saute for a couple of minutes. Then, add the garlic, ginger and wine.
• Let it cook, stirring a few times, until the liquid evaporates and the onion starts to change colour.
• Add the pepper, salt and beans with either 1 cup of the water they were cooked in, or 1 cup of plain water or vegetable stock.
• Mash the beans lightly with the back of a ladle to crush some of the beans, but leave some whole. This will help thicken the soup.
• If the soup is too thick, add more water or stock.
• Let the soup simmer for about 10 minutes.
• Add the coconut milk and let the soup just warm through before turning off the heat.
• Garnish with parsley and serve piping hot.
