Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    If using dried cannellini beans, soak them in water overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking. If using canned beans, simply drain and rinse them.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Finely chop the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic cloves.

  3. 3

    Cut the Pancetta

    Cut the pancetta into small cubes.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Cook the Pancetta

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pancetta and cook until it is crispy, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 5

    Sauté the Vegetables

    Add the chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

  3. 6

    Add the Beans and Broth

    Stir in the cannellini beans, vegetable broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil.

  4. 7

    Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 8

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
