Bean Soup

This soup may be enriched by adding other meats-for example, a piece of ham. Adjust the cooking time accordingly; some meats may need to simmer for 2 to 3 hours to be tender. To ensure that be flavouring vegetables do not lose their fresh taste, the onion, garlic, tomato, and a little chopped parsley may be omitted from the preliminary stages of cooking but sautéed in oil and added to the soup a few minutes before serving. The meats may be sliced and served separately.

Ingredients :

• 250 g haricot beans, soaked overnight in 1 litre water
• 250 g bacon, diced
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
• 1 stick celery, chopped
• 3 tbsp oil
• 3 tomatoes, skinned, seeded and chopped
• Salt and pepper
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley

How to make :

1. Cook the bacon, onion, garlic and celery in the hot oil untik they begin to brown, then add the tomatoes, the beans and their water, salt and pepper. Simmer gently until beans are very well cooked.
