Ingredients

  • 2 cans (15 oz each) white beans (cannellini or great northern), drained and rinsed
  • 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil if desired.
