Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/2 lb Beans, white, dry
3 lb Beef bones
2 ea Carrots -- peeled, sliced
1 ea Parsnips -- peeled
1 tb Salt
1 ea Little Dumplings (recipe)
1 tb Lard
1 sm Onions
2 tb Flour, all-purpose
3 ea Garlic cloves -- chopped,
-mashed
1 tb Paprika, hot
1 c Yogurt, plain
1 t Vinegar, white

Soak beans in 1 quart cold water the night before
you plan to make soup. Next day, drain beans and put
aside.
Put 2 quarts water in a large soup pot and in it
cook bones and vegetables with salt over low heat for
2 hours. Strain and save liquid.
Put drained beans into the reserved liquid; add
enough water to bring the amount back to 2 quarts.
Cook covered over low heat till beans are done.
Make little dumplings and put aside.
Melt the lard in a frying pan. Wilt onion in it,
then mix in the flour and cook over very low heat till
the mixture is light brown.
Remove from heat and mix in mashed garlic and
paprika. Whip in 1/2 cup cold water. Add to the almost
ready bean soup and cook the soup over very low heat
for at least 10 minutes longer.
Note: this southern Hungarian dish probably appears
in Serbian cookbooks as a Serbian dish, where it is
hopefully titled "Hungarian Bean Soup".
