Ingredients
2 medium onions, diced2 ribs celery, diced4 cloves garlic, minced6 cups water1 pound speckled butter beans or Fordhook lima beans, fresh or frozen6 ounces baby portobello mushrooms, sliced1/4 cup wild rice1 teaspoon thyme1 teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, or 2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary1/2 teaspoon sage1-2 teaspoons salt (to taste)1/4 teaspoon black pepper1 teaspoon soy sauce
Directions

Heat a large non-stick pot. Add the onions, and saute until they begin to brown, about 6 minutes. (Add a tablespoon or two of water to prevent sticking, if necessary.) Add the celery and garlic, and cook for another two minutes.

Add the water and butter beans and bring to a boil. Add all remaining ingredients, bring back to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer until the beans and wild rice are both done, 45-55 minutes. If necessary, thin soup with water as it is cooking, according to taste. Just before serving, about 1/2 cup of the beans may be mashed or blended to make the broth thicker.
