16 Bean Soup

[Guest guest]

A nasty, rainy, soup and homemade whole wheat bread day in NY.

 

1 package Goya sixteen bean mix

1 onion finely chopped

2 carrots finely chopped

2 stalks celery with leaves finely chopped

2 cloves garlic minced

2 veggie bouillion cubes

3/4 tspn liquid smoke (optional, but it adds a nice zip)

1 bay leaf

Few dashes smoked paprika

Salt & pepper to taste

6 cups water

 

Rinse beans and cover with three cups hot water. Bring to a boil, cook for

three minutes. Cover and let sit for an hour or so. Saute veggies in a little

olive oil, rinse and drain beans and add to veggies. Add water, and

remaining ingredients and simmer until beans are tender. A nice hearty,

filling, good

for you soup!
