"Americans, more than any other culture on earth, are cookbook cooks; we learn to make our meals not from any oral tradition, but from a text. The just-wed cook brings to the new household no carefully copied collection of the family's cherished recipes, but a spanking new edition of ‘Fannie Farmer’ or ‘The Joy of Cooking’." |
| John Thorne, American food writer |
Bread deals with living things, with giving life, with growth, with the seed, the grain that nurtures. It is not coincidence that we say bread is the staff of life. |

1 c navy beans
2 celery stalks
2 carrots
1/2 onion
2 ham hocks
: salt
1/8 ts black pepper
3 TB margarine
3 TB all-purpose flour
1. Pick over the dried beans and discard any debris. Wash and drain.
Put beans in a large pot and cover with water. Let stand 8 hours or
overnight. 2. The next day, chop celery, carrots and onions into
1/4-inch pieces. (This is easier with a food processor.) Drain beans.
Add vegetables, 5 cups water, ham hocks or ham bone, and pepper to
taste. Add salt if you wish. Bring to a simmer and cook over low heat
for 3 hours or until beans are tender. 3. Remove ham hocks and set
aside to cool. Remove meat from bones and cut meat into half-inch
pieces. 4. Put 2 cups of the soup into a blender along with the
margarine and flour; puree. Pour this puree back in pan. Puree more
of the soup if you prefer a smoother texture. Add the chopped ham
pieces back into the soup. Simmer for 15-20 minutes until soup is
slightly thickened.
Yield: 6-8 large servings. This soup is especially good when
sprinkled with a few drops of hot pepper sauce just before serving.
