Method

Prepare the soup

In a large saucepan over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the onion, carrots, and celery. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute longer. Add the beans, broth, and sherry. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low
