Bean Soup

Bean Soup

l lb. stew meat
1/2 lb white soup beans
1 small bunch celery - chopped (I use 1 cup)
1 large onion, chopped
3 large potatoes chopped
salt and pepper

Simmer 5 hours. Add l stick butter at end of cooking (I used 1/2 stick).

I made this using the crock pot by soaking the beans overnight in water to cover 2-3
inches.
Next morning dump all in large pot with enough water to make maybe 6 cups total (or
less). Bring to boil. Dump in crock pot and cook on high 4 hours or low until thick and
mushy. Add butter.

I love this served with corn muffins or just plain cornbread.
