To make this recipe if you have metal issues such as skin issues, leaky gut or IBS, asthma or have grief and sadness --start out with a meat stock recipe and simply add the vegetables from this recipe.

Soak 1/4 cup each of dry organic mung beans, white kidney beans, black beans overnight.

Mung beans in particular are wonderful if you have swelling or water retention as they help to resolve edema gently.

In a skillet, add enough coconut oil to coat pan. Brown the yellow onion, then add small turnips and the other dry seasonings. Saute for 5-6 minutes at a fairly high heat.

In a quick pot,  add beans, kombu, and the mixture from the skillet. 

Add the broth or meat stock at a level to cover all ingredients well and quick cook for 1-2 hours until beans are very well done. Check often to make sure the ingredients are covered well with fluid and add more fluid as needed.
