Directions
Purée the white beans.
Put into a big stock pot (10 qt) with the cranberry beans.
Sauté the garlic, carrots, onions and celery until onions are just turning translucent.
Add to pot. Add the rest of the ingredients to the pot and fill the pot with water to within 1 inch of the rim.
Simmer for about 1½ hour or until potatoes are soft.
Add salt if desired AFTER the full cooking time.
