I chopped and sliced the vegetables the day before. I used a meaty ham bone. I did not have time to make the csipetke.
Ingredients:
1 lb dried pinto bean
2 large ham hocks
6 large carrots, sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 large onion, chopped
6 celery ribs, sliced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup sour cream (optional)
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, minced
2 teaspoons vinegar
Directions:
1. Wash and sort beans. Soak in cold water overnight; drain. In a large 8-qt. soup kettle, combine the beans, carrots, onions, celery, garlic, meat and paprika. Add enough water to cover ingredients by 2 inches simmer, partly covered, for 2 1/2 hours or until the beans are tender, adding more water as needed. When beans are tender; remove meat to side dish. To make Csipetke, mix flour, salt, egg and oil into stiff dough; let rest for 30 minutes. Blend in sour cream if desired. Mix in parsley and vinegar; adjust seasoning. Cut reserved ham into bite-size pieces; stir into soup.
