Smoky Bean Soup image

This is a recipe from my dad's vegan cookbook. My sister used to be vegan, so he made it up for her and the rest of us, if we wanted to try the recipes. Time does not include soaking overnight. You can do the quick soak method, but may have to cut down the first cook time to 1 hour. If your family is like mine, I would puree the whole thing after it's done, LOL! Then they can't complain about the beans!
