Soak beans in large pot of salted water overnight or bring to boil and turn off and let set at least 4 hours. Add remaining ingredients and bring pot of water to boil, then turn down to a low simmer and simmer until beans are fork tender, about 40 minutes. Remove half of the mixture to a food processor and process until smooth. Slowly drizzle in ½ c. of olive oil. Pour back into soup. Serve!
