Bean Soup
Ingredients:
5 oz. kidney or haricot beans
1 1/2 lb. smoked pork
7 oz. turnips
3 1/2 oz. carrots
salt to taste
1 tbsp. oil
2 tbsp. flour
1clove garlic
1/2 tsp. paprika
1 cup sour cream (optional)
1.Soak the bean overnight.
2.Cook the smoked meat in 11/2 quart of water. Taste the
soup after it have boiled for 15 minutes. If the soup is too
salty, pour off the cooking liquid and add fresh water. When
the meat is partly tender, add the beans. When the beans are
also partly cooked, add the cleaned and quartered vegetables.
Cut the bone off the cooked meat part, but into small serving
pieces and put back in the soup.
3. Make the roux: lightly brown the flour in the oil, add
the crushed garlic, stir and cook for a very short while.
Remove the pot sprinkle with paprika add approx. 1 cup cold
water, stir until smooth and pour into the soup.
4. Bring to boil, then continue cooking for at least 10
more minutes.
5. This soup is an extra special treat, make it with
csipetke (find it at goulash recipe). Serve this specialty
with sour cream in a separate bowl, though some prefer this
classic Hungarian soup with a dash of vinegar.
