Ingredients
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 (15-ounce) can butter beans, rinsed and drained
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup vegetable broth
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
