Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Hearty 15 Bean Vegetable Soup.
Step 1
Start by rinsing the 15 bean soup mix under cool water, then soak it in a large container filled with several inches of water for about 8 hours or overnight.
Step 2
This step is crucial for ensuring your beans are tender and ready to absorb all those delicious flavors.
Step 3
Once the soaking time is up, strain and rinse the beans to prepare them for the pot.
Step 4
Next, grab a stockpot and heat some olive oil over medium heat.
Step 5
Add in the diced onion and let it sauté until it turns a lovely golden brown, which should take around 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 6
This is where the magic begins, as the aroma of the onions fills your kitchen and sets the stage for the rest of the soup.
Step 7
Now it’s time to add a colorful medley of chopped carrots, sliced mushrooms, chopped celery, kale, Swiss chard, and minced garlic.
Step 8
Stir everything together and let it cook for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 9
You want the carrots and mushrooms to become slightly tender, creating a delightful base for your soup.
Step 10
Once your veggies are ready, pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a lively boil.
Step 11
As the bubbles dance, reduce the heat and add in bay leaves, dried rosemary, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Step 12
These herbs and spices will infuse your soup with warmth and depth, making it truly comforting.
Step 13
Finally, gently fold in the soaked and rinsed beans.
Step 14
Let the soup simmer for about 1 ½ to 2 hours, or until the beans are tender and the flavors have melded beautifully together.
Step 15
As you wait, take a moment to enjoy the enticing aroma wafting through your home.
Step 16
When it’s ready, you’ll have a hearty, nourishing bowl of 15 bean soup that’s perfect for sharing with family and friends.
Step 17
Enjoy every spoonful!.
