Cooking vegetarian 15 bean soup

Stir in the tomato paste and cook it for a minute or two to wake up all of that flavor. Add the thyme and stir it in with the rest of the ingredients in the pot.

Pour in the stock and beans, season everything with more salt and pepper and give it a good stir. Add in the bay leaves.

Cover the pot and turn the heat to medium-high heat and let the soup come to a boil. Then reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 45-60 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Serve vegetarian 15 bean soup hot with a baguette, homemade sourdough bread or your favorite crackers.
