Peasant Bean Soup Recipe

Created by All Foods Natural, Monday, 03 September 2007

Description

A typical country bean soup. We have found versions of this classic soup in each country we visited. Our favorite is the traditional soup prepared in Galicia, Spain, with their local ham (lacon), green vegetables (grelos) and potatoes (cachelos), ask for "Caldo Gallego" or "Pote Gallego" if you visit the region.

Serves

1 cup		dried beans
1/2 lb		country style ham, scrubbed and soaked if required
1/4 lb		bacon
1 Tbs		olive oil
2 cups		raw cabbage, chopped
2		medium potatoes, peeled and diced
1/2 tsp		paprika
		salt
		pepper

Methods/steps

1	Wash the beans, cover with cold water and soak for 8 hours or overnight.
2	Drain and bring to a boil into a large pot with 1 gallon water. When the liquid starts boiling, add the meat, paprika, and olive oil. Reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes.

4	Dice the ham, if you are going to serve with the soup, and serve very hot.
