1 can (15 oz) mixed beans (like chickpeas, kidney beans, and cannellini), drained and rinsed

1 large onion, diced

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 carrot, diced

1 celery stalk, diced

1 red bell pepper, diced

4 cups vegetable broth

1 can (14 oz) diced tomatoes, with juice

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon ground cumin

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion, carrot, and celery; sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
