Preparation:
Soak beans in water overnight, boil until fairly tender (about 1.5 hours depending on age of beans). Cut leeks into slices and saute in a little water and vinegar. Add beans, a mixture of bean water and vegetable stock about twice volume of solids, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Reserve a few beans and leek pieces for texture and puree the rest. Return pieces to soup and stir in seasonings to taste. |
