- In a stockpot over medium-high heat, sauté onion in the olive oil until translucent (approx. 3-5 minutes).

Tips:
- Use dried beans: Dried beans are more flavorful than canned beans and they're also more economical. If you're using dried beans, be sure to soak them overnight before cooking.
- Use a variety of beans: Don't be afraid to experiment with different types of beans. Great Northern beans, cannellini beans, and kidney beans all work well in this soup.
- Use fresh artichokes: Fresh artichokes are the best choice for this soup, but you can also use frozen or canned artichokes if you're in a pinch.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables in this soup should be tender but still have a little bit of a bite to them. Overcooking them will make them mushy.
- Season the soup to taste: This soup is pretty forgiving when it comes to seasoning, so feel free to add more or less of the spices and herbs that you like.
Conclusion:
This white bean and artichoke soup is a delicious and hearty meal that's perfect for a cold winter day. It's also a great way to use up leftover beans and artichokes. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy soup recipe, give this one a try.
