| Ambrose Bierce |
Wash beans and soak overnight in cold water. The next day, in a soup
kettle, bring the beans to a boil in the soaking water. Skim off the
foam, then add the remaining ingredients, cover, and simmer gently
until the beans are tender, about 3 hours. Serve hot.
Note: Less frequently, the soup is pureed through a sieve. Also, you
may add the herbs during the last hour or so of cooking, if you wish.
