French Bean Soup Recipe

3 pints water.

1 pint soaked haricot beans.

2 potatoes.

1 ounce butter.

1 onion.

1 pound French beans.

1 teaspoon salt.

1 dozen peppercorns.



Dissolve the butter in a saucepan and fry in it the potatoes and onion

sliced for five minutes, then add the haricot beans and water and boil

for two hours. Add the salt, rub through a wire sieve, replace in the

pan, add the French beans cut fine, and simmer until tender. Tinned

beans do equally well, and only require to be made thoroughly hot.
