Sort and rinse beans, then soak overnight in water. Drain beans and place in  
crockpot. Add vegetable juice, wine, soy sauce, and apple or pineapple  
juice. Cover with vegetable stock or water; the amount added depends on  
whether you prefer a soup (more liquid) or a stew (less). The juice adds  
just a tad of sweetness and the soy sauce adds depth and the tang of salt.  
Cook at high for 2 hours. Add vegetables, herbs, and spices, and cook for  
5
−6 hours at low until carrots and parsnips are tender. When tender, add  
rice or pasta and cook for one additional hour. NOTES: For beans use 3 or 4  
kinds, such as: black, red kidney, pinto, baby lima, lentil, and green  
and/or yellow split peas.
