Ingredients

    2 c Dry Navy Beans
    1 c water
    1 Onion, chopped
    2 Garlic Cloves, pressed
    1 Carrot, sliced
    3 Celery Stalks, sliced
    1 Potato, scrubbed and diced
    1 yam, peeled and diced
    2 bay leaves
    1/4 c chopped fresh parsley
    1/4 t dried thyume
    1/4 t Black Pepper
    1/4 t Liquid Smoke (optional)
    1 1/2 t salt

Directions

1. Rinse beans, soak in 4 cups of water for 6-8 hours or overnight.
2. Pour off soaking water, rinse beans and place in a pot with 6 cups of fresh water. Add onion, garlic, carrot, celery, potato, yam and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook, loosely covered until beans are tender, about 90 minutes.
3. Remove bay leaves and transfer about 3 cups of soup to a blender. Add parsley, thyme, black pepper and liquid smoke, if using. Start on low speed and holding lid on tightly, blend until completely smooth, about 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and repeat with the remaining soup. Return blended soup to pot, add salt to taste and heat until steamy. I used my immersion blender instead of transferring the soup to different bowls.
