Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 c vegetable broth
1/2 c celery -- diced
1/2 lb carrots -- cut into 2" pieces
3 tbsp garlic -- finely minced
2 c red beans -- cooked
2 c white beans -- cooked
1/4 c brown or green lentils
1/4 c dry split green peas
4 sprigs fresh thyme
4 bay leaves
8 sage leaves and stems
1/4 c Italian parsley -- chopped
In a medium-sized stockpot, heat two tablespoons broth over medium heat
and saute the onions, celery, carrots, and garlic for 3 to 5 minutes,
until the onions are translucent.
Add remaining ingredients except parsley. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce
heat and simmer for 1 hour. Uncover and cook for another 30 minutes,
until the peas and lentils are tender and the flavors are blended.
Remove thyme, bay leaves, and sage.
Ladle into bowls and sprinkle with parsley.
Note: original recipe called for 2 c beef broth and 2 c chicken broth --
perhaps some would prefer to sub mock broths rather than vegetable.
