Step by Step Method

Step 1

Carefully pick through the beans and remove any foreign objects. Soak overnight covered with water.

Step 2

The next day, place beans into a colander, rinse under cold water, then transfer to a large stockpot.

Step 3

Add 4 cups water, chicken stock, and bay leaf to the beans. Bring the beans to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium-high and continue to boil for 45 minutes. Add the remaining water as needed; beans should be covered in liquid at all times during this process.

Step 4

In a large skillet, saute the garlic, roasted pepper, onion, carrot, and celery in 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until soft.

Step 5

Stir this mixture into the bean soup and allow the beans to continue to cook for an additional 30 minutes.

Step 6

Check to see if the beans are tender. If they are not, continue simmering; adding water if necessary. Remove the bay leaf.

Step 7

To finish the soup stir in the 1/4 cup olive oil, vinegar, sugar, oregano, cumin, salt, and pepper.

Step 8

Serve the soup hot with a splash of rum, red wine vinegar, and a little white rice.
