Step 1: Drain the soaked beans, rinse under running water and set aside.
Step 2: In a large soup pot heat half of the oil over medium heat. Add the vegetables ( celery - carrots), stir to combine and cook until vegetables are soft (10 minutes).
Step 3: Add beans to the pot and six cups of water. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil, skimming any foam that rises to the surface. Reduce heat to medium low and simmer until beans are soft and soup is thick - 2 hours.
Step 4: Season with salt and pepper about 10 minutes before soup finishes cooking.
Step 5: Remove pot from heat and stir in remaining oil.
