Anasazi Bean Soup

Cover beans with water and soak overnight, allowing extra water for expansion. Drain, reserving soaking water. Measure soaking water and add stock or water to equal 6 cups. Pour into pot.

Add remaining ingredients except salt, green onion and/or cilantro, and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat, and cook at a low simmer 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until beans are tender. Season with salt to taste and serve hot, garnished with green onion and/or cilantro.
