Step 1
Sort the beans, rinse them, and soak in cold water for 4–6 hours. Change the water to fresh, and bring to a boil.

Peel 2 cloves of garlic, add them to the pot along with thyme, and cook covered for about an hour. Drain the water. Pour in the meat broth.
Step 3
Heat the oil in a skillet. Peel the onion and finely chop the remaining garlic. Sauté for 2–3 minutes, then add the paprika.

Wash the tomato, dice it, and add it to the skillet. Simmer for 4–5 minutes, then transfer to the pot with the beans along with the oil.

Finely chop the sausages, bacon, and ham. Add them to the pot along with the bay leaves. Cook over medium heat for 10–12 minutes.

Separate a cup of soup and blend it until smooth. Return it to the pot. Cook covered over low heat for about 20 minutes.

At the end of cooking, remove the bay leaves, season with salt and pepper to taste, add half of the parsley, remove from heat, and let sit for 10–15 minutes. Serve, garnished with the remaining parsley.
