Ingredients
The cannellini beans give this soup a creamy consistency without using milk or cream. Feel free to vary the vegetables, depending on what you have handy. Frozen veggies also work well.

- 1 cup chopped onion
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 1/2 cups broccoli florets

- 4 cups low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon McCormick Salt Free Original Perfect Pinch seasoning

- HEAT the oil in a medium pot over medium heat. Add the onion and mushrooms. Cook until soft, stirring frequently, about 5 minutes.

- PUREE the mixture until smooth using an immersion blender, or allow to reach lukewarm temperature and puree in a blender.
