Ingredients

Beans

  • 1 teaspoon baking soda

  • 2 tablespoons salt

Vegetables

  • 4 tablespoons oil, for sautéing

  • 2 medium onions, diced

  • 1 pound carrots, grated

  • 2 parsley roots, grated

  • 1 red pepper, chopped

  • 1 medium zucchini, unpeeled, diced

  • 3 stalks celery, diced

Directions

Prepare the Vegetarian Bean Soup

1.

In an eight-quart pot, bring water, split peas, lima beans, and baking soda to a boil. (After adding baking soda, lower heat for a few seconds, as it tends to cause the water to foam and boil.) Cook for one hour and 45 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally. Add salt when beans are nearly tender.

2.

In a three-quart saucepan, sauté onions in oil until golden in color. Add vegetables and sauté for 20 minutes. Combine sautéed vegetables with bean soup and cook additional 20 minutes.

Notes:

Skinned beans are more easily digested and do not cause colic or gas. Baking soda softens hard water and reduces cooking time.
