Ingredients

• 1 cup 13-bean soup mix
• 8 cups Water
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium, diced Onion
• 2 medium, peeled and sliced Carrots
• 2 sliced Celery stalks
• 4 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 14.5-ounce can Crushed tomatoes
• 4 cups Vegetable broth
• 1 whole Bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon Dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the 13-bean soup mix thoroughly and pick out any debris or stones. Place the beans in a large bowl, cover with plenty of water, and soak for 8 hours or overnight. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, sliced carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the soaked 13-bean mix, crushed tomatoes, vegetable broth, and water. Add the bay leaf, dried thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for 60-75 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper to taste.

Step 7

Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Serve hot.
