This is one of my favorite soups. I do use canned white beans and this works really well. Everyone I've made it for rave about it.

There are a lot of problems with this recipe as published. First, the quick soak of dried beans is not long enough, so the beans never get cooked to the very center. Instead of a quick soak, rinse beans & soak over night in cold water before continuing with recipe. Using dried beans and homemade broth as I did means you need to add more salt. Slowly add and taste until the flavors come out, but you don't taste the salt. Adding a hamhock or a kielbasa sausage to the beans while they are cooking would add a lot more flavor.
So...seemed to work for those who used canned beans, not for those who used dry.

Made this for dinner tonight. It is delicious! I also used 2 cans of the bean rinsed. Other than the canned beans, I followed the recipe extactly. Worked out great! Will be making this again soon!

I tried this recipe because of all the great reviews I saw but I either made some serious error in the preparation or have very different taste buds than the others who made this recipe. It was very bland which was disappointing because it was also pretty time consuming to make.

I really enjoyed this soup. I too used canned beans and an immersion blender to puree. I also added another can of beans to the pot for texture. I do believe I would like to try bacon or pancetta over the prociutto as I think it could benefit from the extra punch of flavor. Just remember that canellini beans are very mild in flavor overall so don't be afraid of the spices and aromatics.

Thank you, Michael Chiarello! This soup is flavorful and rich without being heavy. I used an immersion blender instead to make the soup smooth and it turned out fantastic. I look forward to making this again - this is an impressive meal to serve for guests or to cozy up with at home on a chilly night.

Question....why would it matter if you happen to "break the skins of the beans"...
...if you are going to puree and strain the soup anyways ?
I'm making the recipe right now....wilted the veggies with the prosciutto first, then added some fresh sage, before adding the rinsed beans.
update soon...

Loved this soup. I'm a student and love to cook, but many recipes require expensive, special ingredients Not this recipe. Such a fine taste and so affordable. Used canned beans, bacon and rosemary, and it turned out wonderfully delicious.

I loved this recipe. Such great flavor. I took another reviewers advice and added one cut-up potato. Good idea! I will be making this soup many times forward.

i made the soup and used 2 cans of beans follwed everything else.. made cibatta bread with sage brown butter and did not do the basil mixture instead roasted repper peppers and drizzled garlic evoo over the soup with the red peppers and chives in the middle. straining the soup took a little time and created alot of dishes, i also used an emulsion blender to make it easier. will make again
