1. Rinse and sort beans to remove any stones or bad beans. Combine 7-8 cups of cold water and the entire 16 ounce bag of beans. Cover and let stand for 6-8 hours or overnight.
2. Drain water and rinse beans.
3. Add 6 ounces celery heart, 14 ounces chopped carrots, 14 ounces chopped potatoes and 6 ounces coarsely chopped onion to the bean mixture.
4. Add 1 can of low-sodium beef broth, 1 can of vegetable broth and 1 large cube of Knorr's Vegetarian Vegetable Bullion.
5. Add 4 plus 1/2 cups of water (hot or cold--does not matter).
6. Stir all ingredients together and bring to a rolling boil.
7. Reduce heat and simmer for 1 hour or until all ingredients are tender and potatoes begin to break down and thicken the soup.
Makes 14 - generous 1 cup servings with almost 9 grams of protein and only 69 calories per serving!
Beans need to be eaten with a grain at the same meal to make them a complete protein so I like to make corn muffins to go along with the bean soup. Nutrition information does not include the corn muffin.
