Put the dry beans into a large pot or bowl and cover with several inches of cold water (this is not the 12 cups from the recipe). Soak the beans for at least 10 hours. Rinse them well afterwards.
Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Once oil shimmers, drop heat to medium and add in onions, carrots, leeks, and kale. Saute until onions are translucent, then add in garlic. Saute two more minutes. Add beans to pot, along with the 12 cups of water and the bouillon.
Cook the soup, covered, over medium heat for about 60 minutes, stirring occasionally. After 60 minutes, if beans are tender, turn the heat to simmer and let the soup rest for 10 minutes with the lid on.
Add salt or pepper as desired, and minced thyme, returning heat to medium-low for 5 minutes.
Serve hot! If desired, this soup is great with a slice of grain-heavy rustic bread and a salad of field greens.
