White Bean Cilantro Lime Soup

• 3 (15 ounce) cans cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)
• 2 limes (juice and zest)
• 3 garlic cloves (chopped)
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
• 2 cups vegetable stock (or chicken)
• 1/3 cup chopped onion
• 1/4 cup cilantro (a good handful, chopped)
• salt and pepper

1. In a stock pot, combine the oil, onion, and garlic. When onions and garlic cook down a bit, add the beans and lime zest. Cook for another minute or two.
2. Add in the stock. Then add the cilantro and lime juice.
3. Cover with a lid and bring to a slight boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for another 5 minutes.
4. Use an immersion blender (or cool slightly and use your regular blender) to make the soup creamy and smooth.
5. Add a bit of salt and pepper to taste, if needed. Set aside with the lid on tight to keep the soup hot while you finish making any other sides.
