1) Cook the beans using normal methods. The easiest way is to use a quick-soak and then a pressure cooker. Technically, the cannellini and red kidney need a little less time than the garbanzo but it works to put them in altogether. 2) Sautee the garlic and onions in the olive oil. (Is this Dr. F approved?) 3) Put the potatoes in with water to cover and cook one third of the way. 4) Add the cabbage. Cook 1/3 more of the way for the potatoes. 5) Add the green beans, tomatoes, cannellini, red kidney, garbanzo, parsley, basil and vegebase, using water as needed. Stir as needed. 6) Add the carrots at the end so they're still firm and the bay leaves at the end so they don't get broken into pieces. Add the nutritional yeast if you're using it. Cook until the carrots are cooked through, but still firm.
