Ingredients

The following ingredients have 7 Servings
  • 1lb. dried Great Northern beans, soaked overnight if possible, drained & rinsed*
  • 3 carrots, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 2 stalks celery, diced (about 1 cup)
  • 1 onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 tsp. dried rubbed sage, such as Sprouts Organic dried sage
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 2 cups water
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instruction

  • Soak beans in water at least 4-12 hours, or overnight (see notes for a detailed explanation of how to do this.) Drain and rinse beans in a colander.
  • Place soaked beans, carrots, celery, onion, garlic, and sage in the slow cooker.
  • Cover with broth and water.
  • Cover with lid and cook on HIGH for about 6-8 hours (the beans will be tender after 3-4 hours if you’ve soaked them beforehand, but the longer it cooks, the creamier the soup gets).
  • Taste soup and add salt and pepper to taste.
