White Bean and Potato Soup

I love love love this soup!  It's very tasty and quite healthy.  A roommate in college made it and I've made it a few times since.

White Bean and Potato Soup

2 Carrots peeled and grated
2 Garlic Cloves chopped
1 TBS. Butter
4 cups Chicken Broth
4 Potatoes peeled and cut into chunks
16 oz. can White Great Northern Beans
1/2 cup Sour Cream
Thyme

Saute garlic and carrots in butter until soft.  Add broth and potatoes.  Boil gently for 30 minutes.  Mash about 1/2 of the potatoes with the back of a spoon.  Add drained beans.  Bring to a boil just to heat the beans. Add a little thyme and stir in sour cream right before serving
