Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 yellow onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 (10 ounce) can golden corn, drained
salt and pepper to taste
5 cups chicken broth
1 (15 1/2 ounce) can white beans
1 cup diced fresh tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried summer savory
1 teaspoon dried parsley

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients.
2 Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium-high heat. Sauté garlic and onion until tender, approximately 5 minutes. Stir in carrot and corn. Season with salt and pepper; cook for another 2 to 3 minutes.
3 Pour in chicken broth, beans, tomatoes, thyme, savory, and parsley. Bring to a low boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for approximately one hour.
