Steps

1
Soak the beans overnight in plenty of cold water. Drain.
2
Cover the beans with fresh cold water, bring to the boil, boil 5 minutes and drain again — this is what keeps the soup from being heavy.
3
Cover with 2 litres of fresh water and simmer 45 minutes until the beans begin to soften.
4
Meanwhile warm the sunflower oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and soften the onion, carrot and pepper for 8 minutes. Tip them into the beans and simmer another 30 minutes.
5
Stir in the grated tomato, paprika and savory. Season with salt only now — salting early keeps beans tough.
6
Simmer 15 minutes more, then take off the heat and stir in the dried spearmint. Rest 10 minutes before serving.
