- 3 tbsp. oil
- 3 large onions (chopped)

- Salt (to taste)
- 2 tbsp. sweet paprika
- Soup mix + beef gravy (to taste – optional)

- Throw in the garlic, onion, and celery. Stir and let the mixture fry for 5 minutes.
- Add the strained beans, cilantro, and parsley. Continue to fry and stir for an additional 5 minutes.
