2 cups sliced mushrooms
1 rutabaga, grated
⅔ tsp (3.3 ml) salt (or to taste)

Instructions
- Soak white beans overnight.

- Cover with clean water, bring to boil and skim off foam that forms.
- Add remaining ingredients.
- Simmer for 2 hours.
- At end of cooking time, when beans are soft, bring to rapid boil for at least five minutes. This is what makes the soup creamy.

Notes
* NT for IBD note: Recipe calls for 2 "small" packages of white beans. Not sure how big a small package is. Seems like a common bag size is 16 oz (453 grams) and I have not found anything smaller than that.
