1 lb dried navy beans soaked overnight and drained
4 celery stalks, diced
4 carrots, diced
1 small onion, diced finely
8 cups of veggie broth, you can add more if the soup gets too thick
2-3 tablespoons of tomato paste
1 bay leaf
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
hot sauce, to taste
a few drops fo liquid smoke
Put everything into a big soup pot and bring to a boil. Simmer over low heat until the beans are really well cooked--almost mushy. It will probably take at least a couple hours. You can mash up some of the beans for a smoother soup, or leave all the beans whole, but either way, you're looking for a really thick soup.
Serve the soup with some good hearty bread and maybe a big salad.

ReplyDeleteSounds perfect for a sick day, or a rainy day, or just about any day! Yum.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a nice hearty soup. I'm going to have to direct my mom towards your site; she's a vegetarian and I think she'd really like your recipes.
ReplyDeleteThank you margot and bittersweet!
ReplyDeleteI failed on my very first vegan Tuesday, Michele...I was doing fine until I had a sudden yearning for a greek cheese pie. Your soup looks just the thing for a chilly day.
