Asiatic Bean Soup

Pick and wash beans. Soak beans overnight. Rinse beans. Place in pot, along with vegetables and seasonings and oil. Add water to well cover beans. Cook on moderate flame until beans will mash easy to the touch. Add more boiling water if needed. When beans are well done you may blend them with an electric blender.* If soup is too thick, add a little boiling water.

* Years ago a Foley Food Strainer was used which removed the hull of the bean. Blending does not remove the hull.

"SIMPLE navy beans is one of the best foods that we can eat. You do not have to strain the beans to eat them. Straining the beans is a real habit that we took up years ago. But, they are better if you eat them in their hull (skin)."

Words of Messenger Elijah Muhammad, from How To Eat To Live Book 2, page 71
