Ingredients:
- 1 pound dried white beans, soaked overnight

Start by soaking the white beans overnight in water. Drain and rinse the beans before using them in the recipe.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, minced garlic, chopped carrots, and chopped celery. Cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Add the soaked white beans, dried thyme, dried rosemary, vegetable broth, and diced tomatoes to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the soup is flavorful.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with crusty bread for a hearty and delicious meal.
