Bean Soup

You need:

• 2 cups of dry beans
• 1 pepper, fresh, or dried
• 1 medium onion
• 2 carrots
• 1/3 cup of vegetable oil
• ½ bunch of fresh spearmint, or 1 teaspoon of dry
• 1 tomato
• salt to taste
• 3 tablespoons of red wine vinegar

Instructions:

In a pot, bring water to boil. Add the beans and the chopped onion. Cook for 30 minutes before adding the chopped vegetables. It is absolutely delicious, if you try this thing with my recipe: Use a cheese cloth and place the vegetables all together with the ½ bunch of spearmint, without chopping them up. That way you could remove them easily from that cloth when the soup is ready, and serve them separately. The soup will still keep the flavor of these vegetables and remain clear. At the end, add salt and red wine vinegar. Simple as this!
