Method
Add onion, parsley, tarragon, garlic and bay leaves to a quart-size jar.
Add beans in layers. Close with a tight-fitting lid and store in a cool, dry place. Package for gift giving with our downloadable gift tag.
To make the soup:
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add carrots, celery and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add broth, 6 cups water and soup mix and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until beans are tender, about 3 hours. Discard bay leaves and stir in salt and pepper.
