Mixed Bean Soup With Vegetables
Ready In: 2 hrs 45 mins
Serves: 20
Yields: 1 big pot of soup
Ingredients
- 2 -3 cups of mixed dry beans
- 1 sweet onion
- 1 -2 lb carrot
- 1 whole celery
- 6 -10 mushrooms (the white kind you can get whole or sliced)
- 2 -3 potatoes
- 1⁄2 cup fresh Italian parsley
- salt
- pepper
Directions
- Let the beans soak in water overnight or all day. Cook them in boiling water for an hour or two (until soft), then drain, rinse off, and set aside.
- Put water in a big pot to boil (fill the pot about half way). Start chopping carrots and celery into bite-size pieces, and slice onion pretty thin. You can use the whole celery, even the leaves. Leave all of the stalks together and slice with a big knife - this is a timesaver.
- Add veggies to boiling water. Chop parsley coarsely and add it to water. After about 15 minutes, slice the mushrooms and add to the mix. When the carrots and celery are almost soft, cut potatoes into 1 inch chunks and add to broth. Salt and peper to taste.
- When veggies are almost done, add beans back into the broth.
