This is an extra-good hearty soup. I often serve it to my church circle of over 100 members. After dinner, I'm always asked for this special recipe. Ingredients:
1 pound dried great northern beans, washed and sorted |
2-1/2 quarts cold water, divided |
3 medium carrots, sliced |
3 celery ribs, sliced |
2 medium onions, chopped |
1 garlic clove, minced |
1 can (16 ounces) stewed tomatoes, cut up |
1 to 2 bay leaves |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
salt and pepper to taste |
Directions:
1. Soak beans overnight in 2 qts. water.
2. Add remaining water to softened beans and bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes.
3. Stir in the remaining ingredients; simmer 1 hour or until beans are tender. Discard bay leaves. Yield: 8 servings.
