Ingredients

  • 2 spoons Oil, plant, sunflower

  • 2 piece Onion, raw

  • 1 piece Carrot, fresh

  • pieces Green, tuber

  • 1 piece Parsley, fresh

  • 100 g Leek

  • 1 teaspoon Spices, cumin, seeds

  • 2 spoons Tomato, concentrate

  • 2 pod Garlic, fresh

  • 2 piece Spices, bay (leaves)

  • pieces Spices, walk, ground

  • pieces Salt, table

  • 150 g Beans, grains

  • 1 l Water

  • 4 spoon Sour cream

  • pieces Parsley, fresh

Steps

  1. Clean and wash the vegetables. Peel the garlic and onion, then finely chop them separately. Cut the carrots, celery, parsley, and leeks into pieces. Drain the soaked beans, rinse them under running water, and drain again.

  2. Place a large pot on the stove and heat the oil. Add the chopped vegetables and onion, and sauté them over moderate heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cumin and tomato paste, then mix in the chopped garlic and all the spices except salt. Continue stirring and sauté for another 2 minutes, then add the drained beans and pour in the water.

  3. Use a spatula to scrape the bottom of the pot well to release all the caramelized bits that formed during the sautéing of the vegetables. Bring the soup to a boil, then simmer gently until the beans are completely tender (about 1 hour).

  4. Before serving, season the soup with salt to taste and add pepper if needed. Serve it in deep bowls or soup cups, garnish with sour cream, and accompany with fresh, toasted, or garlic bread. Chopped parsley and chili also pair excellently with the stew, sprinkled over the prepared dish.
