desired.
Soak the beans in lots of water for at least three hours. Drain.
Cook the onioin, carrot and celry in heated oil for about 10 minutes or
until soft. Add garlic and rosemary and cook for 3 minutes. Add the beans
and stock, reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until tender

until smooth. Return to soup and reheat. Adjust seasonings.
Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with cheese and parsely and serve at
