How to Make 15 Bean Soup
- STEP 1.Start by rinsing the beans thoroughly. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Let them soak for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This step helps soften the beans, ensuring they cook faster and more evenly.
- STEP 1.In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions, carrots, and celery. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and fragrant. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- STEP 2.Once the vegetables are ready, add the soaked and drained beans, diced tomatoes, smoked paprika, thyme, cumin, and broth. Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Let the soup simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the soup has thickened.
- STEP 3.Taste your soup and add salt and pepper as needed. If you prefer your soup to have a little more kick, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce. Serve the soup hot, and enjoy the hearty flavors in every bite. You can also add a side of crusty bread for an extra treat!
