1

Preheat the Zojirushi food jar by pouring boiling water (not included in the ingredients list). Close the lid and allow to preheat.

2

Heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic, onion, carrots and celery until tender, about 3 minutes.

4

Add beans and season with salt and pepper to taste.

5

Throw in the bread cubes and bring to a boil again. Turn heat off.
