Summer white bean soup

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 cup Dried white beans
8 cups Vegetable stock or water
1 Bay leaf
½ cup Chopped celery or Swiss chard stems
1 tablespoon Unrefined vegetable oil
1 quart Washed and chopped Swiss chard leaves
1 tablespoon Bragg's Liquid Aminos
3 tablespoons Rice vinegar

Directions

Cover the beans with water and soak for 6-8 hours, or overnight. (In hot weather, put the soaking beans in the refrigerator to keep them from fermenting.) Before cooking, drain and combine the beans with vegetable stock, or fresh water, and a bay leaf. Bring to a boil and simmer for 1½ hours or until tender.

In a skillet, saute celery in oil and add to beans with other ingredients. Cook until chard is tender but still bright green, about 5-10 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
