Instructions
- 1
Drain and rinse the soaked white beans. Place them in a large pot and cover with fresh water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until the beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Drain and set aside.
- 2
In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and the onion is translucent.
- 3
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- 4
Add the cooked white beans, vegetable broth, bay leaves, thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes.
- 5
Remove the bay leaves. For a creamier texture, use an immersion blender to blend some of the soup directly in the pot, or transfer a portion to a blender and blend until smooth. Return to the pot.

Stir in the lemon juice and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot, garnished with chopped parsley.
