Now finely chop 2 onions and 3-4 cloves of garlic.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onions until translucent.
Add the chopped garlic, stir and cook over low heat.
Peel the carrot and grate it on a coarse grater. (I had already grated frozen carrots in my freezer, therefore I skipped this step)
Chop 2 celery stalks.
Add carrots into the pan with onions. Stir and cook for 1 minute.
Stir and add salt to your taste. Stir again and cook for 2 more minutes.
Now add half the quantity of cooked beans and 2.5 cups of chicken broth.
Cook for 15 minutes.
Add 1 teaspoon of dried sage and cook for 1 minute more.
Now blend it with an immersion blender.
Add the bean puree to the pot with hot chicken broth.
Add the remaining beans.
Add boiled chicken.
Add 2 teaspoons of Italian or Provence seasoning.
Add freshly ground pepper to your taste.
Cover and let cook for a couple of minutes more.
Add 1 cup of heavy cream and stir. Cook for 1-2 minutes and turn the heat off.
