Home Is Not So Bad...(and delicious too!)

While eagerly anticipating our amazing journey ahead, we enjoyed a day lounging in the sun in Malibu and doing our usual baking. Today we made yummy popovers with raspberry butter to savor alongside our white bean and rosemary soup. Both so easy and so incredibly delicious.



White Bean Soup With Rosemary for 12
Ingredients
2 pounds dried northern or cannellini beans
7 cups chopped onions (about 5)
1/2 cup olive oil
4 gloves garlic
3 springs fresh rosemary
4 quarts chicken stock
2 Bay Leaves
4 teaspoons sea salt (or kosher salt)

Cover beans in water and soak in the refrigerator over night. In a large soup pot, saute onions in olive oil until translucent. Add garlic and cook another few minutes. Drain the beans and add to pot along with chicken stock, bay leaf, and rosemary. Simmer for one hour and a half. Using an emersion blender or a regular blender, puree half of the soup and return to pot. Remove bay leaf and add salt and pepper to taste.
