Preparation
Heat a medium pot and add the cumin seeds. Toast the seeds for 1 minute until they begin to release their aromas. Be careful not to let them burn.
Add onions, carrots and celery and sauté for 5 minutes to soften. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if vegetables start to stick.
Add minced garlic, smoked paprika, bay leaves and diced tomatoes. Stir everything well and cook for about 5 minutes to help the tomatoes break down.
Add the vegetable broth and the beans (large) and bring to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes.
Stir in cayenne pepper, lemon zest and juice, chopped mint leaves and chopped parsley. Cook another 3 minutes.
Serve it!
