Bean and Corn Soup
Ingredients
- 1 pound of lean beef cut in small pieces
- 1/2 pound of salt pork
- 1 quart of dried beans soaked overnight
- 1 onion sliced
- 1 teaspoonful of celery salt
- 1 of pepper
- 2 of salt
- a little parsley
- 1 tablespoonful of butter
- 1 tablespoonful of sugar
- 1 can of corn, or the same amount of green corn
- 5 quarts of water
Directions
Put everything in the water but the corn, and boil slowly for two hours. One hour before using, stew the corn slowly in a separate sauce-pan adding the butter and a little salt. Strain the soup through a colander rubbing the beans to a pulp. Place again over the fire and add the corn; boil all together a minute and serve with toasted crackers. This soup may be made without straining.
