Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil (2 tablespoons) in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the onion (1 medium), carrots (2 medium), and celery (2 stalks), and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Bring 7 cups (1.7 litres) of water to a boil in a kettle. 

  2. Add the garlic (4-5 cloves), rosemary (1½ teaspoons), and sage (1 teaspoon), and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Pour in the boiled water and the vegetable stock powder (5-7 teaspoons), mix well, and bring to a boil.

  4. Add the orzo (1 cup) and cannellini beans (1 can). Reduce to a steady simmer and cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the orzo is just tender.

Chef's Notes



Stock powder: You can use bouillon cubes in place of stock powder. Check how many you would need for this amount of liquid. Alternatively, use liquid stock or broth. I find that I’m often more likely to have the powdered version on hand than the liquid. 
Cream substitute: You can use full-fat coconut milk instead of plant cream. The texture and flavor will be slightly different but still rich and creamy.
