Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cans (15 ounces each) white beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sauté the diced onion until softened.

  5. Pour in the vegetable broth and simmer for about 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
