From the Test Kitchen

The cannellini bean (a white kidney bean) is a traditional Native American ingredient. Adopted by Tuscan cuisine, it made its way to France in the form of white bean soup. That’s how Thomas Jefferson, then Minister to France, discovered it. He loved the dish so much that he planted cannellini beans in his garden at Monticello, bringing them back to the Americas. Hearty, warming white bean soup became a fixture at presidential dinners in Washington and the Jefferson White House's food is still regarded as the best of any Presidential administration's.
