Step 1
1. Prepare the ingredients for the soup. I don't specify the amount of water, as you can adjust the soup's thickness to your taste. Sort the beans, soak them for a couple of hours in cold water, then change the water to fresh and cook the beans until tender. Do not salt the beans.

2. Wash and peel the vegetables. Cut the potatoes into cubes, finely chop the onion and carrots. Mince the garlic with a knife—do not use a garlic press, as it will simply burn in the pan. Bring the water or broth for the soup to a boil. Sauté the vegetables in vegetable oil until cooked through.
