INSTRUCTIONS
Pick through beans and rinse. Place in a lidded container with water to cover by several inches; refrigerate overnight. Heat 1 T of the oil in a heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan. Add carrot, onion, celery, and salt, and cook over medium-low heat, stirring often, until soft and translucent, about 20 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute longer. Add beans, bouquet garni, porcini, and water. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook over low heat until beans are completely tender, about 1 hour, adding salt and pepper to taste after 30 minutes. Remove bouquet garni; puree soup in a blender or food processor. Adjust seasonings. Garnish with chopped parsley and sage and drizzle with remaining olive oil.
