Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup mixed dried beans, soaked overnight, sorted, rinsed and drained
- 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 cup diced parsnips
- 2 cups diced carrots
- 1 1/2 cup leeks, clean and sliced thin
- 4 garlic cloves, smashed
- 2–3 sprigs of fresh thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
- 2 bay leaves
- 6 cups vegetable broth
- 1 bunch kale, Swiss chard, or beet leaves, sliced thin

Instructions
In a large soup pot or Dutch oven, heat the grapeseed oil over medium-high heat. Add the celery, parsnips, carrots, leeks, garlic, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix well and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables lose their crunch. Add the turmeric and cook for one minute, mixing well. Add the bay leaves and vegetable broth. Bring to a boil and add the beans. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the beans are tender, about 45 minutes. Add the beet greens and cook for 2-3 minutes, until they are wilted and tender. Turn off the heat and add parsley. Test and adjust seasonings, if necessary. Bon appétit!
