Green Beans Soup Recipe
Ingredients:
1 lb green beans
1/2 lb onions
1 lb turnips
2 carrots
2 celery sticks
1 teaspoonful mixed herbs
1/2 oz parsley
1 oz butter
2 quarts of water
salt and pepper, to taste
Preparation Instructions:
Cut up the vegetables and set them to boil in the water with the haricot beans (which should have been steeped over night in cold water), adding the butter, herbs, and seasoning. Cook all very gently for 3-1/2 to 4 hours, stirring occasionally. When the beans are quite tender, rub the soup through a sieve, adding more water if needed; return it to the saucepan, add the parsley chopped up finely, boil it up and serve.
