Zacks Research Issues Negative Forecast for Nutrien EarningsRUBEN AMORIM gave Manchester United five out of ten for Sunday’s performance at Ipswich. The coach looked frustrated as the Red Devils struggled in the 1-1 draw — his first game in charge — against the Premier League new boys. Amorim delivered his verdict on the average display in the Portman Road dressing room, where he also revealed he was blown away by the intensity of the top flight. A source said: "Amorim said their performance was a five out of ten. "He was impressed with Ipswich and thought the game was played at an incredible intensity. "But he added that it showed just how much United need to improve." Former Sporting Lisbon boss Amorim, who replaced axed Erik ten Hag as boss this month, is realistic about the major task ahead of him. But he warned his players that they must improve and learn quickly. The Portuguese, 39, acknowledged that if 18th-placed Ipswich are one of the Prem’s lesser teams, then it showed the job he has on his hands to turn Man Utd 's fortunes around. He took his first training session last Monday , with the international break only halfway through. CASINO SPECIAL - BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS The source added: "He was critical of one or two players for losing the ball and not being in the right positions. "But he also said, ‘Some of you I’ve had for two days, some two weeks’, so he was realistic. "He did say they were going to have to learn quickly." MANCHESTER UNITED began the Ruben Amorim era with a 1-1 draw away at Ipswich. Marcus Rashford needed just 81 seconds to put the Red Devils in front at Portman Road, tapping home an Amad Diallo cross. But Ipswich hit back when Omari Hutchinson's strike flew in via a deflection off Noussair Mazraoui. And it was the newly-promoted side who looked likelier to get a winner in the second half. Here is how SunSport's Charlie Wyett saw the performances of the Man Utd players... ANDRE ONANA - 7/10 United’s best player. Two key stops to deny Liam Delap but no chance for the deflected Omari Hutchinson goal. Then delivered an 87th minute save to keep out an effort from Conor Chaplin. NOUSSAIR MAZRAOUI - 5 Slotted in on the right of the three-man defence but unfortunate with the deflection for the goal. MATTHIJS DE LIGT - 5 Has been suspect this season and will probably be better suited to a back three although still given a tough time by Delap. JONNY EVANS - 5 The 36-year-old was targeted by Ipswich for his lack of pace and no surprise he was replaced. AMAD DIALLO - 6 Did incredibly well to bomb past Jens Cajuste and deliver the cross for Rashford’s early goal but offered little else. CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN - 5 Some nice touches going forward but too lightweight in this position in front of the back three. CASEMIRO - 4 Lucky to start ahead of Manuel Ugarte and was really poor. Struggled throughout before being subbed and could maybe have got a block to the Hutchinson shot. DIOGO DALOT - 5 Not suited to left wing-back although stayed there when Luke Shaw arrived because the English international replaced Evans in the back three. BRUNO FERNANDES - 5 Some of his link-up play was fine but United need a captain who can inspire this team and Fernandes is not the man. Sent a free-kick flashing past the post with 12 minutes left. ALEJANDRO GARNACHO - 5 Twice called over by Ruben Amorim in the first half for instructions. Denied by a decent save from Aro Muric 50 seconds into the second half. MARCUS RASHFORD - 6 Criticised for his basketball trip to New York so to score after 80 seconds was two fingers up at his critics - but did not offer much after that. Subs Ugarte (for Casemiro 56 mins) - 6 Shaw (for Evans 56 mins) - 6 Hojlund (for Rashford 67 mins) - 5 Zirkzee ( for Eriksen 67 mins) - 5 Mount (for Garnacho 87 mins) - 5
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Brock Purdy pulled off his gray 49ers sweatshirt Friday and, as he headed for the locker room showers, his sore right shoulder was exposed. There was no noticeable swelling or lump, aside from minor marks via treatment he received since last Sunday’s once-subtle injury. His muscular 24-year-old build appeared stout as ever. Looks can be deceiving. So can words, in any NFL team’s injury descriptions, any Instagram doctors’ prognosis, or any reporters’ déjà vu feelings. “I don’t want to say there’s long-term concern,” coach Kyle Shanahan said Friday, referring to Purdy’s MRI exam and indicating the quarterback will miss Sunday’s game at Green Bay. Brandon Allen will make the spot start. For how long, though? Exercising caution is wise to protect a bona fide franchise quarterback who threw for a 49ers-record 4,280 yards last season on a surgically repaired elbow and is due for a 49ers-record contract extension at this season’s likely bitter end. Shanahan and general manager John Lynch indicated that Purdy’s MRI on Monday did not reveal a dire, franchise-altering ailment. “We thought he just needed some rest and really weren’t concerned about him not being good this week,” Shanahan said. “But when he started up Thursday, (his shoulder) just surprised him, surprised us, how it felt.” It’s no surprise, however, how a shoulder injury can grow into a bigger firestorm. For now, public proclamations are minimizing any long-range ramifications. Purdy was not made available to reporters, but as he walked through the locker room Friday, he tried to exude a positive outlook, saying: “We’re all good.” His demeanor remained as upbeat and polite as ever in an ensuing conversation with a staff member. Neither of Purdy’s understudies, Allen and Josh Dobbs, has a history of shoulder injuries, so they were hesitant to speak about how fear-inducing those must be for a quarterback. “I’m not too worried about it, I don’t think any of our guys are,” Allen said. “He’ll rehab and get back as fast as he can. And as far as shoulders, it happens. I don’t think it’ll be anything lingering or long-term for him.” Three seasons ago, when the 49ers last visited Lambeau Field, Jimmy Garoppolo was a week removed from hurting his shoulder – a torn capsule, the 49ers said – in a wild-card playoff win at Dallas. Garoppolo played through the injury, the 49ers won without scoring an offensive touchdown. Two months after losing in the NFC Championship Game, Garoppolo surprised the 49ers by electing to have surgery on his shoulder, complicating a potential trade or release and keeping him on the roster. That made for an awkward but necessary comeback in 2022 as he served as a helpful bridge between Trey Lance’s two-start cameo and Purdy’s late-season emergence for another playoff run. Go back nine years and there is another 49ers quarterback quandary. Colin Kaepernick was listed as probable to play at Seattle, but a day before kickoff, the 49ers surprisingly put him on injured reserve. He headed for surgery to repair a torn labrum in his non-throwing shoulder. Benched three weeks before that IR move, Kaepernick spent the ensuing offseason rehabilitating for what would be one final season with the 49ers and the NFL. An even messier shoulder story unfolded with Kaepernick’s predecessor, Alex Smith. A 2007 feud ensued between Smith and third-year coach Mike Nolan, who publicly dismissed Smith’s shoulder pain that traced back to a Sept. 30 separation. Smith played hurt a few games, then confessed to the nagging pain in his shoulder, after the 49ers had listed him out of practice with a forearm strain. Smith rallied and rebuilt his career, albeit under other coaches. Now it’s Purdy stepping aside for an unknown length of time. Allen relayed their Friday conversation: “He believes in me, says ‘You’re here for a reason. Go in, step up, play well.’ He’ll be back. So I’m not worried about it.” “He’s doing well. He’s in good spirits,” Dobbs added. “Obviously, I don’t want to speak for him, but he wants to be out there. So he will work his butt off to get back out there, and we’ll hold it down for him until he gets back.” ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc. Visit at mercurynews.com .

The likely defeat of the motion is expected to intensify public protests calling for Yoon's ouster and deepen political chaos in South Korea, with a survey suggesting a majority of South Koreans support the president's impeachment. Yoon's martial law declaration drew criticism from his own ruling conservative party, but it is also determined to oppose Yoon's impeachment apparently because it fears losing presidency to liberals. Impeaching Yoon would require support from two-thirds of the National Assembly , or 200 of its 300 members. The opposition parties who brought the impeachment motion have 192 seats, meaning they need at least eight additional votes from Yoon's People Power Party . The opposition-controlled parliament began a vote earlier Saturday, but only three lawmakers from PPP took part with opposition members. If the number of lawmakers who cast ballots doesn't reach 200, the motion will be scrapped at midnight, according to National Assembly. Opposition parties could submit a new impeachment motion after a new parliamentary session opens next Wednesday. National Assembly Speaker Woo Won Shik urged ruling party members to return to the chamber to participate in the vote, stressing that it was closely watched by the nation and also the world.

"I plead to you, for the future of the Republic of Korea." Earlier Saturday, Yoon issued a public apology over the martial law decree, saying he won't shirk legal or political responsibility for the declaration and promising not to make another attempt to impose martial law. He said would leave it to his party to chart a course through the country's political turmoil, "including matters related to my term in office." "The declaration of this martial law was made out of my desperation. But in the course of its implementation, it caused anxiety and inconveniences to the public. I feel very sorry over that and truly apologize to the people who must have been shocked a lot," Yoon said. Since taking office in 2022, Yoon has struggled to push his agenda through an opposition-controlled parliament and grappled with low approval ratings amid scandals involving himself and his wife. In his martial law announcement on Tuesday night, Yoon called parliament a "den of criminals" bogging down state affairs and vowed to eliminate "shameless North Korea followers and anti-state forces." The turmoil resulting from Yoon's bizarre and poorly-thought-out stunt has paralyzed South Korean politics and sparked alarm among key diplomatic partners, including neighboring Japan and Seoul's top ally the United States, as one of the strongest democracies in Asia faces a political crisis that could unseat its leader. Tuesday night saw special forces troops encircling the parliament building and army helicopters hovering over it, but the military withdrew after the National Assembly unanimously voted to overturn the decree, forcing Yoon to lift it before daybreak Wednesday. The declaration of martial law was the first of its kind in more than 40 years in South Korea. Eighteen lawmakers from the ruling party voted to reject Yoon's martial law decree along with opposition lawmakers. The passage of Yoon's impeachment motion appeared more likely Friday when the chair of Yoon's party called for his removal on Friday, but the party remained formally opposed to impeachment. On Saturday, tens of thousands of people packed streets near the National Assembly, waving banners, shouting slogans and dancing and singing along to K-pop songs with lyrics changed to call for Yoon's ouster. A smaller crowd of Yoon's supporters, which still seemed to be in the thousands, rallied in separate streets in Seoul, decrying the impeachment attempt they saw as unconstitutional. Lawmakers on Saturday first voted on a bill appointing a special prosecutor to investigate stock price manipulation allegations surrounding Yoon's wife. Some lawmakers from Yoon's party were seen leaving the hall after that vote, triggering angry shouts from opposition lawmakers. If Yoon is impeached, his powers will be suspended until the Constitutional Court decides whether to remove him from office. If he is removed, an election to replace him must take place within 60 days. Opposition lawmakers say that Yoon's attempt at martial law amounted to a self-coup, and drafted the impeachment motion around rebellion charges. Lee Jae-myung, the leader of the main liberal opposition Democratic Party , told reporters that Yoon's speech was "greatly disappointing" and that the only way forward is his immediate resignation or impeachment. On Friday, PPP chair Han Dong-hun, who criticized Yoon's martial law declaration, said he had received intelligence that during the brief period of martial law Yoon ordered the country's defense counterintelligence commander to arrest and detain unspecified key politicians based on accusations of "anti-state activities." Hong Jang-won, first deputy director of South Korea's National Intelligence Service , told lawmakers in a closed-door briefing Friday that Yoon called after imposing martial law and ordered him to help the defense counterintelligence unit to detain key politicians. The targeted politicians included Han, Lee and Woo, according to Kim Byung-kee, one of the lawmakers who attended the meeting. The Defense Ministry said it had suspended the defense counterintelligence commander, Yeo In-hyung, who Han alleged had received orders from Yoon to detain the politicians. The ministry also suspended the commanders of the capital defense command and the special warfare command over their involvement in enforcing martial law. Former Defense Minister Kim Yong Hyun, who has been accused of recommending Yoon enforce martial law, has been placed under a travel ban and faces an investigation by prosecutors over rebellion charges. Vice Defense Minister Kim Seon Ho has testified to parliament that it was Kim Yong Hyun who ordered troops to be deployed to the National Assembly after Yoon imposed martial law.

United States, Mauritania held energy security dialogArizona Wildcats (6-1) vs. Vanderbilt Commodores (6-0) | Acrisure Holiday Invitational, Acrisure Arena, Palm Springs, Calif. | 2:30 p.m. Tuesday | TruTV | 1400-AM She said it Arizona coach Adia Barnes on Vanderbilt: “Vanderbilt is really athletic. They're going to throw different presses at us. They're gonna throw 1-2-2, different full-court presses, trapping ... They are hard to play against. I think for us, we have to take care of the ball. That's a huge thing because they're going to really try to turn us over. And we can't have a ton of people in the backcourt because when we've watched film, when you're in the backcourt they swarm you. They're athletes, they're not too big, but they're similar sizes, so they're going to switch a lot. “An experienced team can take advantage of that, because you read mismatches, but we're young. (I have) to show them where mismatches will be and you have to read that. What else concerns me, what concerns me a lot, is their offensive rebounds and their transition. Turnovers would be one, offensive rebounds two, and then transition three. Turnovers in transition are going to be together, because if we turnover, they're going to get transition baskets.” Arizona head coach Adia Barnes has some instructions for guard Jada Williams (2) during a Grambling State free-throw attempt on Nov. 23, 2024. On the sidelines Needs improvement: The Wildcats found their intensity against Grambling State after it disappeared earlier in the week in the loss to NAU. In the second half of Saturday’s game, Arizona showed it wanted it more by making the necessary corrections. Lauryn Swann found her groove as a fourth-quarter shooter. Plus, Paulina Paris is playing the part of the steady, reliable double-digit scorer and defensive stopper. Arizona guard Paulina Paris (23) gets fouled on her way to the basket by Grambling State guard Sharonica Hartsfield on Nov. 23, 2024. On the flip side, the Wildcats have still displayed that tendency to go for the home run passes, which in most cases end up going out of bounds or ultimately into their opponents’ hands. This is definitely not the plan and not something that Barnes is teaching. At one point Saturday night after the game, Barnes said the Wildcats' play in the second quarter, specifically, looked like the “Bad News Bears.” Instead of the Wildcats being the disrupters early on, it was their opponents, the Tigers. Barnes said, “I was like, ‘What are we doing?’” “These cross court (passes), I don’t know; I'm not a football coach, so I don't ever teach a one arm throw across the court,” Barnes said. “... I don't ever want a one hand, like, beam across the court. Those are just habits, but we definitely have to break those fast, because it's not good, and we're not going to win games ... Any time you pass across your body it’s always a turnover or jumping.” Barnes said it all comes down to fundamentals, which are worked on daily. So young: Barnes keeps talking about how young her squad is this season. Having 10 underclassmen — freshmen and sophomores — out of 13 active players is very young. And of those three upperclassmen, Isis Beh is starting for the first time and easing into her leadership role; Paris is a junior, who is learning a new system and back after an injury that held her out for the second half of last year at North Carolina; Erin Tack, also a junior, is coming back from an ACL injury and this is her first time playing basketball since her sophomore year of high school. That’s not a lot of true experienced players in the UA system or just in general. Finding new ways to teach isn’t new for Barnes as each year her teams have their own ways of learning. “With young players you have to spell out exactly, ‘You need to do this; this is when you need to do it,’” Barnes said. “...Some stuff we know, but it takes me drawing it, talking about it and showing them the light to reinforce that. Because I think players forget in the stressful times. You may know it, but then you don't understand what's open. ... It’s a process.” One of the areas Barnes is taking time to get just right is Arizona’s calling card, the defense. At times, it looks undisciplined when pressing and reaching for a steal. For a faster opponent, they turn this into a five-on-four advantage early in the shot clock. Barnes said she is working to have the collective understand what the goals are with the defense and what happens when it works. “(Right now) it looks like we just call a press and get beat,” Barnes said. “That's not the objective. The objective is to make them work. And then contain. If you're faster, you can be a little closer. If you're not, you need to pop back. Even if I'm this far, they can't beat you where we're rotating. We did a better job of that (in the second half against Grambling) but we don't really have an understanding of that.” More on youth: Vanderbilt freshman guard Mikayla Blakes (who was No. 8 in her class ranked by ESPN’s HoopGurlz), is leading the Commodores averaging 20 points per game. Her brother Jaylen, is also a guard, playing his graduate year at Stanford. His first three seasons were at Duke. Blakes and Khamil Pierre are one of the highest scoring duos in the country, as Pierre is adding 19.2 points per game. She is also averaging a double-double with 11 rebounds per game. By the numbers 29: Arizona is hitting only 29% of its 3-point attempts, which is around five per game. The Wildcats made two against Grambling State. And yet, they knocked down nine against UNLV. 8: Breya Cunningham is in a three-way tie for eighth in the nation in total blocks with 17. Only two Big 12 players have more: Texas Tech’s Sarengbe Sanogo with 19 (tied for fifth place) and TCU’s Sedona Prince with 23 (second). 95.65 : Jada Williams is inches away from 12th place nationally in free-throw percentage with 95.7% (22 of 23), while Mercer’s Aspen Johnson sits at 96.0% (24 of 25). There are 11 players who are perfect from the charity stripe. Contact sports reporter PJ Brown at pjbrown@tucson.com .

Alphabet Inc ‘s GOOG GOOGL foray into quantum computing technology with Willow has found Wall Street admirers . The Alphabet Analyst: On Tuesday, Bank of America analyst Justin Post issued a note on Alphabet following Google’s unveiling of Willow. The analyst reiterated his Buy rating for the company with a price target of $210. Main Takeaways: Alphabet’s announcement centered on reducing the number of errors with quantum computing as computing power increased and a benchmark computation that showed the chip performing much faster than current computing capacity. Post noted that Willow could provide Alphabet with a significant tech moat in the long run. He estimated the commercial introduction of the technology to be several years away. Still, Post is optimistic. “Advancements with Willow, which illustrate that Alphabet remains at the leading edge of technology innovation, are important for stock sentiment,” he said. “Alphabet has a track record of developing next-gen technologies with successful monetization,” he continued. “Products and technologies that have proven applications and could be underappreciated in the stock could include AI Overviews (using Gemini), TPUs, Cloud, Workspace, and Waymo.” Alphabet’s stock is trading up over 10% this week, closing in on a market capitalization of over $2.5 trillion.

The company and Republican Gov. Mike DeWine announced the plan Monday. The new investment will boost the amount it has committed to spending in Ohio by the end of 2029 to more than $23 billion. AWS launched its first data centers in the state in 2016 and currently operates campuses in two counties in central Ohio, home to the capital city of Columbus. The new investment will allow AWS to expand its data centers to new sites, but the company said those locations have not been determined yet and noted that its investment plans are contingent upon the execution of long-term energy service agreements. AWS said the new data centers will contain computer servers, storage drives, networking equipment and other forms of technology infrastructure used to power cloud computing, including artificial intelligence and machine learning. In June 2023, AWS said it would invest $7.8 billion by the end of 2029 to expand its data center operations in central Ohio. That was on top of $6 billion already invested through 2022.

With ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz out of the way as Donald Trump's nominee to be his attorney general, a noted election lawyer made the case that he Florida Republican's replacement is also ripe for a take-down. Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," attorney Mark Elias called out the Gaetz replacement nominee, former Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi , as an "election denier" who should be grilled at her Senate confirmation hearings about the 2020 presidential election. Asked if he was preparing Senate Democrats for the Bondi hearing, what he would ask, he replied, "So look, the question I always asked before the election was somebody ask Donald Trump what state he legitimately lost in 2020." ALSO READ: The America-attacking Trump is coming for our military — and then he's coming for us "So one thing I would do with her is revisit these comments in 2020 and ask if she stands by them and what evidence she now has of fraud in Pennsylvania and where else?" he elaborated. "She will say that is ancient history, we don't need to cover that and the truth is we do need to cover it. The moment we move on from allowing people to make irresponsible statements about the 2020 election, which they still stand by, she won't repudiate it, she'll say let's move on." "The moment she continues to be allowed to wiggle out there, we lose something important," he added. "The other thing is, I think a very important clip you guys played, and I think everyone needs to focus on this: she has said that there needs to be political prosecutions. She has said they need to investigate the investigators, not because she had any knowledge, not because she was privy to any wrongdoing on their part, but simply because Donald Trump has said that he wants to go after his political opponents, he wants to go aferr Jack Smith and his investigators and anyone who stood up to him. " "To have the power to oversee criminal investigations and parrot that language, she has to be asked about that.," he added. "That is not only not normal, that is absolutely dangerous."

Gretchen McKay | (TNS) Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Beans are kind of like the your best friend from high school — nearly forgotten but always ready to step back into the limelight and help out an old pal when needed. As gorgeously (and tantalizingly) demonstrated in Rancho Gordo’s new cookbook, “The Bean Book: 100 Recipes for Cooking with All Kinds of Beans” (Ten Speed, $35), beans are indeed a magical fruit, though not in the way you heard as a kid. Classified as both a vegetable and a plant-based protein in the USDA’s Dietary Guidelines for Americans, beans and other legumes can be the ingredient you build an entire vegetarian or veggie-forward meal around. Or, they can help an economical cook stretch a dish twice as far with nutritious calories. A healthful and shelf-staple plant food — they last for years when dried — beans have been among a home cook’s most reliable pantry items for a very long time. (Common beans (Phaseolus vulgaris) are thought to have been grown in Mexico more than 7,000 years ago.) That’s why, for some, they’re often something of an afterthought, especially if the only time you ate them as a kid was when your mom tossed kidney beans into a pot of beef chili or made baked beans (with brown sugar and bacon, please!) for a family cookout.

Sales also peaked during the coronavirus pandemic, when shoppers stockpiled long-lasting pantry essentials. It wasn’t until Rancho Gordo, a California-based bean company, trotted out its branded packages of colorful heirloom beans that the plant began to take on cult status among some shoppers. Unlike the bean varieties commonly found in even the smallest grocery stores, heirloom beans are mostly forgotten varieties that were developed on a small scale for certain characteristics, with seeds from the best crops passed down through the generations. The result is beans that are fresher and more colorful than mass-produced beans, and come in different shapes and sizes. They also have a more complex and intense flavor, fans say. “The Bean Book” dishes up dozens of different ways to cook Rancho Gordo’s 50 heirloom bean varieties, which include red-streaked cranberry beans, mint-green flageolets, black and classic garbanzos and (my favorite) vaquero — which wear the same black-and-white spots as a Holstein cow. Other gotta-try varieties (if just for the name) include eye of the goat, European Soldier, Jacob’s Cattle and Good Mother Stallard, a purple bean with cream-colored flecks. “The very good news is that you have to work extra hard to mess up a pot of beans, and it’s not difficult to make an excellent pot,” Steve Sando writes in the book’s foreword. “The even better news is that you become a better cook with each pot you make.” Not convinced? Here are five reasons to jump on the bean bandwagon: Even the smallest grocery store will have a selection of dried and canned beans. Common varieties include black, cannellini (white kidney), Great Northern, pinto, navy, kidney, Lima and garbanzo (chickpea) beans. Even when they’re not on sale, beans are a bargain at the supermarket. Many varieties cost less than $1 a can, and dried beans are an economical way to build a menu. I paid $1.25 for a one-pound bag of cranberry beans, a smooth and velvety bean with a slightly nutty flavor, at my local grocery store. Rancho Gordo’s heirloom beans cost substantially more. (They run $6.25-$7.50 for a one-pound bag, with free shipping on orders over $50.) But they are sold within a year of harvest, which makes them more flavorful and tender. A bag also comes with cooking instructions and recipe suggestions, and the quality is outstanding. Plus, after cooking their beans with aromatics, “you are left with essentially free soup,” Sando writes in the cookbook. “If you drain properly cooked and seasoned beans, the liquid you are left with is delicious.” Beans are a great source of plant-based protein and both soluble and insoluble fiber, and they include essential minerals like iron, magnesium and potassium. If you’re watching your weight or following a particular diet, beans are naturally free of fat, sodium and cholesterol and are rich in complex carbohydrates. They also contain antioxidants and folate. And if you’re vegan or vegetarian, most types of dry beans are rich sources of iron. The U.S. Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommends eating 1-3 cups of legumes, including beans, per week Dry beans have to be soaked overnight, but cooking them is easy. They can be cooked on the stovetop, in a slow cooker, in the pressure cooker and in the oven. Canned beans are even easier — just rinse and drain, and they’re ready to go. Beans can be used in so many different dishes. They can be made into soup, salad or dips, top nachos, add some heft to a casserole or be mashed into the makings of a veggie burger. You also can add them to brownies and other baked goods, toss them with pasta, add them to chili or a rice bowl or stuff them into a taco or burrito. Check out these four recipes: PG tested This light and creamy vegetarian soup benefits from a surprising garnish, roasted shiitake mushrooms, which taste exactly like bacon. For soup 1/4 cup olive oil 1 medium yellow onion, chopped 2 celery stalks, chopped 1 medium carrot, scrubbed and chopped 6 garlic cloves, finely grated or pressed 2 sprigs fresh thyme, plus more for garnish 1/2 teaspoon sea salt 1/4 teaspoon pepper 4 cups vegetable broth 2 15-ounce cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed For bacon 8 ounces shiitake mushrooms, caps cut into 1/8 -inch slices 2 tablespoons olive oil 1/4 teaspoons fine sea salt To finish Plant-based milk Chili oil, for drizzling Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Make soup: In large pot, heat oil over medium heat until it shimmers. Add onion, celery, carrot, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are fragrant and tender, 8-10 minutes. Add vegetable stock and beans, increase heat to high and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until thickened, 12-14 minutes. Meanwhile, make the bacon: Spread shiitake mushrooms into a single layer on a sheet pan, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Bake until browned and crispy, 18-20 minutes, rotating pan front to back and tossing mushrooms with a spatula halfway through. Let cool in pan; mushrooms will continue to crisp as they cool. To finish, add some milk to the soup and use an immersion blender to puree it in the pot, or puree in a blender. (Cover lid with a clean kitchen towel.) Taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Divide soup among bowls and top with shiitake bacon. Garnish with thyme sprigs and a drizzle of chili oil.
