- 4 pieces garlic cloves, minced
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 2 pieces celery stalk, diced
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 2 pieces bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 15 ounces canned kidney beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned black beans, drained and rinsed
- 15 ounces canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrot, and diced celery, and sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the tomato paste, stirring well with the vegetables, and cook for 2 minutes until the paste darkens in color.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes and vegetable broth, then add the bay leaves, smoked paprika, ground cumin, and dried thyme.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low and let it cook for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Add the canned kidney beans, black beans, and chickpeas to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Season with salt and black pepper, and let the beans cook for another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the bay leaves and taste to adjust seasoning if necessary.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a main dish or a hearty side.
