Cooking Instructions:
This is healthy, easy and it can be altered to suit your tastes depending on vegetables you have on hand. Sometimes I add grated corgettes and/or mushrooms.

Combine all ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer, covered, for 25 minutes. Add water to thin. Mash some of the bean to thicken. Season with salt & pepper to taste. Serve with crusty bread.

Of course it's nice as leftovers too.
