Ingredients

• 1 cup Dried beans (such as pinto, navy, or kidney)
• 4 cups Water
• 1 medium, chopped Onion
• 3 cloves, minced Garlic
• 1 large, diced Carrot
• 1 large, diced Celery stalk
• 1 Bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 2 cups Low-sodium vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Fresh thyme leaves
• 2 tablespoons, chopped Parsley

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the dried beans thoroughly under cool running water. Place them in a large bowl, cover with water and let them soak overnight, or for at least 8 hours.

Step 2

Drain the soaked beans and rinse them again. Set aside.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the soaked beans and lower the heat to a simmer. Cover and let it cook for about 45 minutes or until the beans are tender but not mushy.

Step 4

In a separate large pan, heat 1/4 cup of water over medium heat. Add chopped onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Stir occasionally and cook until the onions are translucent and fragrant, about 5-7 minutes.

Step 5

Add tomato paste to the vegetables and stir for another minute, allowing the tomato paste to cook a bit.

Step 6

Pour the cooked vegetables into the pot with the beans. Add the low-sodium vegetable broth, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and thyme. Stir well.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for another 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very tender and the flavors meld together.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Stir in chopped parsley just before serving for an additional burst of flavor.

Step 10

Serve hot in bowls, and enjoy your delicious low fat beans pottage!
