Notes

Stove top option: heat oil in a Dutch oven/stock pot and sauté celery and onion at high flame. Add crushed tomatoes along with the seasoning and stir well. Lower the heat to medium and add beans, 1 ½ cups vegetable broth and salt. Stir and let it cook covered for 20-25 minutes at medium flame. Open the lid and stir. Roughly mash the beans with a food masher and let it cook uncovered at low flame for 3-5 minutes. Turn it off and stir again. Garnish and serve.
