  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 small potato, finely chopped
  • 1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained

  1. Melt butter and olive oil in a large stock pot or dutch oven, and saute onions and garlic until translucent. Add herbs on the stem and bay leaf and mix.

  6. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes.
