Instructions: Combine all the ingredients and add enough water to cover the beans. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until beans are thoroughly cooked.

Add more water as required. Remove bay leaves and puree the soup in a blender. Then pass the soup through a fine sieve to remove the skins of the beans.
