Bean soup has always been a favorite in our home, I love it with fresh bread!


Ingredients:


  • 200 g sugar beans

  • 3 mutton or pork shanks or 1 ham bone with some meat on it

  • 3 rashers rindless bacon, finely chopped

  • 1.5 litres cold water

  • 30 ml butter or margarine

  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped

  • 2 stalks celery, finely chopped

  • 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced

  • 15 ml salt

  • 2 ml milled pepper


Method:


Cover beans with cold water and soak overnight. Bring the meat, bacon and water to boil in a large saucepan then cover and simmer till the meat is tender.

Saute the onion, celery and carrot in butter in a frying pan for 3 minutes.

When the meat is tender add the saute'd vegetables and the beans and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes more.

Remove the meat and bones, discard the bones and cube the meat.

Puree the remains of the saucepan and add the cubed meat.

Add salt and pepper, boil and serve.
