Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 tbsp | Olive oil |
| 3 | Yellow onions |
| 4 cloves | Garlic |
| 8 | Shallots |
| 1 | Bay leaf |
| 1 sprig | Fresh thyme |
| 1 sprig | Fresh rosemary |
| 2 cups | Navy beans |
| 1 cup | Dry white wine |
| 1 cup | Madeira wine |
| To taste | Salt |
| To taste | Black pepper |
| 4-6 tbsp | Roquefort cheese |
Instructions:
-
Heat the oil: In a heavy stock pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
-
-
Saute aromatics: Add chopped yellow onions, minced garlic, and sliced shallots to the pot. Saute them until they turn golden brown, ensuring to stir continuously to prevent burning.
-
Infuse flavors: Introduce a bay leaf, fresh thyme sprig, and fresh rosemary sprig into the pot. Saute for about a minute to release their aromatic essence.
-
Add beans and wine: Toss in the navy beans, followed by dry white wine and Madeira. Stir well to incorporate all the ingredients.
-
Pour in the stock: Add the stock to the pot, stirring to ensure all ingredients are well combined. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
-
Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it simmer for approximately 45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Adjust consistency: Depending on your preference, if you desire a smoother, creamier consistency, you can opt to use a hand blender to puree the soup directly in the pot. Conversely, if the soup seems too thick, you can dilute it with a bit of stock or water.
-
Season to taste: Remove the pot from heat and taste the soup. Adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as per your liking.
-
Serve: Ladle the piping hot soup into serving cups. Finish each serving by sprinkling a generous tablespoon of crumbled Roquefort cheese on top.
