Techniques
Drain the white, kidney and pinto beans into a colander and rinse under water.
  • 1 can white beans
  • 1 can kidney beans
  • 1 can pinto beans
  • 1 whole onion
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 sticks celery
  • 2 whole carrots
Finely chop the onion, roughly chop the garlic, thinly slice the celery and cut the peeled carrots into small bite-size pieces.
  • 45 ml extra virgin olive oil
Heat a stock pot over medium heat with the olive oil.
  • 15 ml sherry vinegar
After a couple of minutes add the chopped vegetables and mix continuously 3 to 4 minutes until lightly sauteed without browning.
  • 1½ g ground cumin
  • 1 g dried parsley
  • ½ g dried thyme
  • sea salt
  • freshly cracked black pepper
Add the sherry vinegar, cumin, dried parsley and dried thyme, season with sea salt and black pepper and mix.
  • 950 ml vegetable broth
Add the drained beans and the vegetable broth.
  • 1 whole bay leaf
Add the bay leaf, turn up to high heat and mix gently.
Once it comes to a boil, lid the pot, lower to a low-medium heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes.
Pounding a garlic-parsley paste
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 8 g chopped fresh parsley
  • sea salt
Pound the roughly chopped garlic, chopped parsley and a kiss of sea salt in a mortar to a paste-like texture.
Remove the lid, stir the garlic paste through the soup gently so the beans do not break apart.
Finishing and tasting
Remove from the heat and transfer to a shallow bowl.
