Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large onion finely chopped
• 3 to 4 cloves garlic minced
• 2 cups water
• 2 medium carrots peeled and sliced
• 2 medium golden potatoes peeled and diced
• 1/2 cup dry red wine
• 3 1/2 to 4 cups cooked canellini beans about 1 2/3 cups raw or two 15- to 16-ounce cans, drained and rinsed
• 15- to 16- ounce can diced tomatoes undrained
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh rosemary plus more for garnish
• Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

• Heat the oil in a soup pot. Add the onion and saute until translucent. Add the garlic and sauté over medium heat until both are golden.
• Add the water, carrots, potatoes, and wine. Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer gently for 10 minutes.
• Stir in the beans, tomatoes, thyme, and rosemary. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium heat, covered, for 15 to 20 minutes. If needed, add a small amount of water, but the consistency should be fairly thick; not too soupy.
• Season with salt and pepper. Allow the stew to stand off the heat for an hour or so if time allows. Heat through as needed before serving. If need be, adjust the consistency once again with a bit of water, and taste again for salt and pepper. Garnish each serving with a sprig of fresh rosemary.
