Soak SIMPLi Gigante Beans overnight (8+ hours). Drain and rinse, then simmer in a pot with fresh water, a splash of oil, salt to taste, and 2 bay leaves until tender. Reserve cooking liquid (bean broth).
In a large skillet, heat cooking oil over low-medium heat. Add diced shallots and sauté until lightly golden and fragrant. Meanwhile, toast your sourdough slices.
Stir in the cooked beans and reserved bean broth. Bring to a simmer, then mix in nutritional yeast, lemon juice, miso paste, thyme, chili flakes (if using), salt, and pepper.
Toss in broccolini and cook for 2–3 minutes until tender but still vibrant.
Pour into a bowl, drizzle with finishing oil (try field garlic infused oil for extra flavor!), and serve with warm sourdough for dipping.

This cozy, brothy bowl is proof that simple ingredients can deliver maximum flavor—and comfort. Using SIMPLi’s Gigante Beans and Olive Oil as the foundation, this recipe is a celebration of seasonal cooking, inspired by what’s fresh and available each week at the farmers market. It’s nutrient-dense, endlessly adaptable, and the kind of meal that feels like a warm hug.

About the recipe

“This has been an absolute staple of mine whenever I have beans on hand. With just a handful of ingredients and it offers restaurant quality flavor. Plus it’s super customizable: try it out with different types of beans, use kale or chard in place of the broccolini, and in just a few minutes it comes together beautifully.” – Sabs Katz
