Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Wash and sort the beans.
  2. In a large soup pot cover the beans with water and bring to a rolling boil.
  3. Turn off the heat and let rest 2 hours.
  4. Drain and rinse the beans.
  5. Return the beans to the pot and add 8 cups water, salt and pepper to taste and bring to slow boil.
  6. In the meantime, saute the vegetables in the olive oil until soft, about 10-15 minutes.
  7. Add to the pot and stir.
  8. Return saute pan to the heat and saute the meats, adding more olive oil if needed.
  9. When the sausage and ham bits are cooked and crisping up a bit add that to the bean pot.
  10. Return the saute pan once again to the heat and add the consomme, stirring and scraping up the flavorful bits.
  11. Pour all of that into the bean pot and stir.
  12. Add the remaining ingredients and stir.
  13. Let simmer on low for about 4 hours, stirring occasionally until the beans are soft.
  14. I will then mash some of the beans to achieve my desired thickness and then add my secret ingredients: the ketchup and the butter! Shhh.
  15. Stir, taste and reseason.
  16. Serve in bowls over steamed white or brown rice.
