Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Soak the beans overnight in a large bowl of water mixed with a pinch of salt and keep them submerged.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté yellow onion, shallots, and celery for about 10 minutes.
  3. Add bay leaf, garlic, thyme, oregano, smoked paprika, and chili flakes to the sautéed vegetables. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add drained beans and vegetable stock. Season with sea salt and black pepper, stirring well to immerse beans in liquid.
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cover slightly ajar and simmer for 1.5 hours, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove any large vegetable pieces. Mix a few spoonfuls of broth with miso and then stir back into the pot. Add lemon juice and fresh herbs.
  7. Ladle the beans and broth into bowls, garnishing with chopped fresh herbs. Serve hot, preferably with crusty bread.
