What You'll Need
Olive oil
Salt & freshly ground pepper

Step 1
Chop half of the onion, reserving the rest for another use. Chop 3 cloves of garlic. Pick the rosemary, toss the stems, and chop 1 teaspoon of leaves. Rinse and drain the beans.
Step 2
Warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a dutch oven or large pot over medium-high heat. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and saute until translucent, 3-5 minutes. Add the garlic, rosemary, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if you’d like a little heat. Stir until fragrant, 30 seconds.

Add 3 cups of the broth to the pot along with the tomatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the flavors meld, 10 minutes.
