Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. To prepare the beans:
  2. Soak beans in 4 cups water for 6-8 hours.
  3. Drain the soaking water from the beans. Rinse and swish beans in fresh water several times and discard rinse water. This helps reduce gassiness of beans.
  4. Put beans in a pot large enough so it is only half full. Add enough water to the pot so it comes to an inch or so above the beans.
  5. Boil beans on high heat. To reduce gassiness even further, you can scoop off and throw away the white foam that forms on top of the water.
  6. Add more water if you need to so the beans are always under at least 1 inch of water.
  7. Turn heat down to low so the beans are barely bubbling. Cover the pot and cook beans until very tender (1 1/4 to 2 hours).
  8. To further reduce gas and help digestion, you may want to add 1 teaspoon of savory or ground fennel to the beans during cooking.
  9. To prepare the soup:.
  10. Drain beans and save cooking water. Add enough water or broth to total 12 cups of liquid.
  11. Add onion and broccoli to beans and simmer on medium/low heat for 20 minutes.
  12. Add the rest of the ingredients (except gomashio) and cook 20 minutes longer on medium heat.
  13. If desired, blend 4 cups of the soup, then add it back in with the rest of the soup.
  14. Serve hot and enjoy. Sprinkle with gomashio if desired.
  15. Keeps 5-7 days in fridge or may be frozen.
