Rince the beans first desperately. Cook the soy beans until almost tender. The soy of course take a lot longer. About 6 hours unless you use a pressure cooker. When the soy beans are almost done I put the black beans in and finish cooking both. Do not discard the water as the color is beautiful and adds to the flavors. Be sure there’s enough water to just sit at the top of the beans.

Get all your seasonings together. Add to the beans. Add diced onions and let it all cook on medium until onions are soft. Add the tomato paste and then carrots. Let cook for just about a minute. Mix the flour in water and turn down the heat to low and slowly add flour and stir constantly. Taste and adjust if needed.
