Bean Soup Recipe

Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 large yellow onion, diced into 1/4-inch pieces

2 carrots, cut into 1/4-inch pieces

1 package Goya 16-bean soup mix, soaked according to package directions

1 bay leaf

2 sprigs thyme

2 fourteen-ounce cans chicken stock

1 tablespoon coarse salt

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley (optional)

Preparation

Heat olive oil in a medium pot set over medium-high heat. Add the onion and carrot, and saute, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
