Ingredients

Directions

Combine the onions, garlic, and olive oil in a soup pot; saute on medium heat for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened.
Add the carrots, celery, bell peppers, oregano, thyme, basil, marjoram, and cayenne. Turn heat to low, cover and cook for another 5 to 10 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking.
When the vegetables are just tender, stir in the tomatoes, kidney beans, mustard, brown sugar, and okra, if desired. Simmer gently for 5 to 10 minutes.
Add salt and pepper to taste and serve topped with parsley or scallions.
