Add water to a pot and bring it to a boil.

Add 2 garlic cloves to the boiling water.

Pour white beans into a bowl and rinse them twice.

Add the rinsed beans to the boiling water.

Boil the beans for about 15 minutes, then continue boiling for another 45 minutes.

Check on the beans and stir occasionally; it's okay if they begin to break down as they will be blended later.

After about an hour of cooking, remove the beans and place them into a blender, leaving some beans in the pot.

Add some water to the blender and blend the beans until smooth.

Use a strainer to pour the blended beans back into the pot, removing any unblended pieces.

Add more water to adjust the consistency of the beans before boiling again.

Add Maggi seasoning, cloves, and garlic salt to the pot and stir.

Let the mixture boil for about 5 to 7 minutes.
