Peel and finely dice onion and carrot. Dice celery. Cut pepper into 1/2 inch cubes and mince garlic.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook, stirring for 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add the carrot, celery, and garlic and cook for 5 minutes, stirring regularly, until celery starts to soften.

Step 4

Add the cumin, smoked paprika, harissa paste, and ½ tsp salt. Cook for 1 minute, stirring consistently to avoid burning.

Add the peppers, white beans, tomatoes, and broth. Stir to scrape everything off the bottom of the pot. Simmer for 35 minutes, until carrot is soft and fork tender.
