Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the navy beans in water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Beans

    In a large pot, add soaked navy beans and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1 hour or until beans are tender. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In the same pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and celery, cooking until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add Sweet Potatoes and Herbs

    Stir in the diced sweet potatoes, cooked navy beans, fresh parsley, and thyme. Cook for another 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  5. 5

    Combine with Stock

    Pour in the roasted vegetable stock and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes until sweet potatoes are tender.

  6. 6

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
