Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until softened.
- Add soaked and drained beans to the pot, followed by vegetable broth, lemon slices, bay leaves, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the beans simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours or until they are tender. Check the water level periodically and add more if needed to keep the beans covered.
- Once the beans are cooked, remove the bay leaves and adjust the seasoning if needed.
- Serve the brothy beans hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
