Place beans and water in a 8 quart stockpot, bring to boil, reduce flame
to medium and cook for 1 hour.
Sautee onion, garlic, parsley in olive
oil, add flour, and stir constantly, simmering for about 10 minutes.
Add
tomato past mixture, and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove crushed garlic
cloves and add mixture to stockpot, along with salt and pepper.
