Servings: persons

1 large onion, chopped
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound white beans, soaked for six hours (or overnight) and drained
1 bay leaf
1 sprig of fresh sage
2 1/2 to 3 quarts water, as needed (or 2 1/2 quarts water and up to 2 cups milk as needed)
Salt to taste
Freshly ground pepper
About 1/3 cup pistou
Garlic croutons for garnish (optional)

1
Combine the onion, garlic, drained beans, bay leaf, sage and 2 1/2 quarts water in a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven and bring to a boil.
2
Add salt to taste, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 2 hours, until the beans are very tender and the broth is fragrant.
3
Remove the bay leaf and sage sprig.
4
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup (or you can use a regular blender, working in batches and placing a kitchen towel over the top to avoid splashing) until it is very smooth.
5
Return to the pot, heat through, add freshly ground pepper and adjust salt.
6
Thin out as desired with water or milk.
7
Ladle the soup into bowls.
8
Stir the pistou, and if it is very stiff, thin out with a little olive oil so that you can drizzle it into each bowl and it wont just fall in as a clump.
9
Put about 2 teaspoons on each bowl, add a few garlic croutons if desired, and serve.
10
Diners should stir the pistou into the soup for the best flavor.
