Quick White Bean Soup
For a creamy variation of this soup, put the beans along with 4 cups chicken stock, 1 cup heavy cream and the thyme in a food processor or blender and process to a smooth puree. Pour into a saucepan and warm gently over medium heat until just beginning to simmer. Do not let boil. Season with salt and pepper.
