Vegetarian Bean Soup

Course Soup
Cuisine American
Total Time 1 hour 30 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 2 yellow onions diced
  • 2 ribs celery chopped
  • 2 carrots chopped
  • 1 medium turnip diced
  • 1 pound dried white beans
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon ground sage
  • 1 teaspoon ground coriander
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon MSG
  • 6 cups water

Instructions

  1. Soak beans overnight in water. Make sure to fill your container several inches higher than the beans as they will soak up a lot of liquid.
  2. In a large soup pot or dutch oven, heat coconut oil over medium heat.
  3. Add onions, celery, carrots and turnip and cook, stirring occasionally, until onion starts to become translucent, about 10 minutes.
  4. Add beans, spices and water. Cook covered over medium heat until the soup begins to bubble then turn heat to low. Simmer for 1 hour or until beans are tender.

Recipe Notes

If you prefer a thin soup, serve as is. If you prefer a thicker soup, remove half the soup and blend in a blender or blend using an immersion blender until desired consistency is achieved.
