Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can pinto beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 can navy beans, drained and rinsed
  • 4 cups vegetable broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Equipment

  3. Add all five cans of beans and the vegetable broth to the pot.
