For an even richer flavor, consider adding a Parmesan cheese rind to the bean mixture while simmering. Remove before serving.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors beautifully.
If you prefer a smoother consistency, you can partially mash some of the cannellini beans during the simmering process.
