Look for black soy beans in the organic section of major supermarkets. If you can't find them, substitute canned black beans or shelled edamame.

2 cups hot water
4 cups water
1 teaspoon fine sea salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
4 cups sliced cremini mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced carrot
