White Bean, Rosemary, Basil Soup

I posted this a while back and promised to share the other super-fast soups...here's another one. It will take me longer to post this than it did to make it, and my 3-yr-old actually measured and blended it, so I'm pretty sure anyone can do this.

*2 c. low-sodium chicken broth
*2 cans great-northern beans, drained (and divided, optional)
*1 c. canned marinara sauce
*1/4 c. fresh basil or 1 tsp. dried
*1 tsp. fresh rosemary
*1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes

Put all ingredients into a blender, puree. Pour into a saucepan and warm over medium about 10 minutes. I often puree 1/2-3/4 of the beans and add the rest whole to mix up the texture a bit. We usually serve this with this but I had some of these in the freezer that needed to be used. I also crumbled some bacon and had some garlic focaccia croutons to garnish.
