Ingredients

• 0.5 cup dried black beans
• 0.5 cup dried kidney beans
• 0.5 cup dried navy beans
• 0.5 cup dried pinto beans
• 0.5 cup dried chickpeas (garbanzo beans)
• 0.5 cup dried green lentils
• 0.5 cup dried split peas (green or yellow)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion, diced
• 2 large carrots, diced
• 2 large celery stalks, diced
• 3 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 8 cups vegetable broth
• 1 14-ounce can canned diced tomatoes (with juice)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 whole bay leaf
• 2 teaspoons salt
• 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse all the dried beans under cold water to remove any debris or dirt. Soak them in a large bowl filled with water overnight or for at least 8 hours. Drain and rinse before cooking.

Step 2

In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery, and sauté for about 5-7 minutes, until the vegetables are softened and aromatic.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, being careful not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the soaked and drained beans to the pot along with the vegetable broth, canned diced tomatoes (with their juice), dried thyme, dried oregano, cumin powder, paprika, and bay leaf.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 90-120 minutes, or until the beans are tender.

Step 7

Check periodically to ensure the soup hasn’t reduced too much—add additional broth or water if needed.

Step 8

Once the beans are cooked through, remove the bay leaf and season the soup with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve hot, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired, and enjoy!
