I do this easy. In large soup pot, pour water and beans and bring to a boil for about 20 minutes.
Chop all your ingredients and dump into pot. Add all your spices and oil. Add both cans of tomatoes. Mix. Turn to medium low and set timer for 30 minutes, mix and reset timer.
I usually make this on laundry day so it cooks all day on low. Boy the house smells soooo good!
Serve with pasta of choice or not. Like I mentioned, it is thick like a stew.
