Up to 2 teaspoons of salt per pound of beans may be added to help the beans absorb water more evenly. Heat to boiling, let boil 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat, cover and set aside for at least one hour, but preferably four hours or more. The longer soaking time is recommended to allow a greater amount of sugars to dissolve, thus helping the beans to be more easily digested. Always discard the soak water. To maintain color integrity, soak beans separately. Drain beans. Cook onion, celery, carrot, green pepper, parsley and garlic in butter until soft. Combine cooked vegetables with soup mix, 2 quarts water, bay leaf, fine herbs and soaked beans. Simmer, covered, about 1 hour to desired tenderness. Add tomato. Serve hot, sprinkled with cheese.

If this seems too difficult, you can substitute chili powder at the ratio of 1 tablespoon chili powder to a pod of chili. Read the instructions on the soy or TVP package to see if the product was soaked beforehand. If not, use some of the water to prepare this ingredient. Saute the onions in the olive oil until translucent. Add the garlic and spices , then the 12 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then add the nuggets. Reduce to a simmer, cook for 30 minutes to an hour.

Sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately. The Pipers call this dish a "white creole" because it is not thickened with the traditional mahogany-colored roux. Instead, a mixture of chicken stock, tomato paste, and aromatic vegetables is reduced until the sauce becomes quite thick and flavorful.

Reduce the heat to moderately low and simmer until the asparagus are tender, about 15 minutes. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with 1/2 cup of the cheese. Reduce the heat to low so that the soup is no longer simmering, and very slowly ladle about 2 cups of the hot soup into the beaten eggs, whisking constantly. Once incorporated, gradually stir the egg mixture into the soup in the saucepan. Increase the heat to moderately low and cook the soup, whisking constantly, until it just thickens, about 8 minutes. Do not allow the soup to boil or the eggs will curdle. Remove from the heat. Place one slide of toasted bread into each soup bowl. Ladle the hot soup on top and serve with additional grated cheese. Thickening soup with bread is typical of rustic Italian cooking, in which nothing goes to waste. The toasts may be made from day-old or slightly stale bread.

Peanuts are not recommended. A fungus called aflatoxin naturally occurs in the peanut crop. Although the crops are inspected for it, a certain percentage is allowed and since it is a proven carcinogen, peanuts are best left alone. Another reason peanut butter isnt recommended is that it is not possible to make a butter out of raw peanuts. Peanut butter is produced from roasted peanuts. Nutr.

Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the vegetables and cook for five minutes, or until soft but not brown. Add the chestnuts, stock, and bouquet garni.
