Description
For those who are not fond of celery, you can add thyme, parsley, cilantro, and any other herbs. I wouldn't add dill, but that's also optional. A little bean tip — I usually buy a kilogram of the largest white beans (my favorite), cook them all. I discard the cooking water — it causes all the bloating. I portion the beans into bags and freeze them. It's very convenient to use later for salads, side dishes, and soups.
