I knew we'd get here sooner or later: if you can eat it, you can mix it with beans. Just 3 ingredients produce this plain and simple soup, but you can certainly add tiny cubes of cooked ham or crumbled bacon as a garnish. the Soup Lady likes a bit of green on top as well - maybe some chopped scallions or a bit of parsley. Soak one pint of navy beans for twenty-four hours, then simmer on the back of the coal range or at the edge of a coal fire over night. Take two stalks of celery, cut it fine, cook it half an hour with the beans, then press celery and beans through a colander. Heat one quart of beef stock, add the puree and cook together for fifteen minutes, stirring constantly.
