- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 1 smoked ham bone (with some meat on it)
- 2/3 cup dry sherry
- Soak the beans overnight in a pan of water.
- Drain off the soaking water. Simmer beans in 8 cups of water until soft.
- While the beans are cooking, saute the chopped onion and celery in margarine until golden. Add the vegetables to the soup pot along with bay leaves, parsley, salt, pepper, and ham bone. Cook over medium heat for 3 hours, adding water if needed.
