Servings: persons

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 whole Medium Onion, Chopped
1 stalk Celery, Chopped
1 whole Medium Carrot, Chopped
1/4 whole Red Bell Pepper, chopped
2 cloves Garlic, Chopped
2 teaspoons Fresh Thyme Leaves
1 teaspoon Smoked Paprika
1-1/2 Tablespoon All-purpose Flour
2 cups Vegetable Stock
2 cups Water
1 Tablespoon Tomato Paste
1 teaspoon Dried Oregano
1 whole Bay Leaf
2 cups Cooked Cannelini Or White Beans (See Note) Or 15 Ounces Canned
2/3 cups Half-and-half

1
Note: If using dried beans, soak the beans 8 hours overnight. Drain, and then place in a large pot and cover with 1 inch of water. Simmer for 1 hour or until the beans are tender. Drain and set aside.
2
Heat the olive oil in large pot, and saute the onions, celery, carrot and bell pepper until well softened, about 7 minutes. Add in the garlic, thyme and paprika and saute for 2 minutes more. Add in the flour and saute one minute more.
3
Now add in the vegetable stock, water, tomato paste and oregano. If you like a smoother soup, you can blend together the ingredients at this point before proceeding. If you're more of a chunky soup person, add in the bay leaf and beans as well. Simmer for about 20 minutes; longer if you want a thicker soup. Add salt and pepper to taste, and then stir in the half-and-half.
