1/2 ounce lemon juice

1 small onion, chopped
2 large sprigs fresh flatleaf parsley, stalks separated

60g cooked chestnuts, roughly chopped
2 Tbsp white wine vinegar

Put the beans into a pan, cover with water and bring to the boil. Boil
rapidly for 10 minutes, cover and simmer for 11,2 hours until tender.
Meanwhile, put the carrot, leek, onion and parsley stalks into a large
pan.
Cover with 700ml water, bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes.
Strain, returning the liquid to the pan. Discard the vegetables. Stir in
the
garlic and simmer for 5 minutes.
Drain the beans, reserving 150ml of the liquid. Add the beans and the
liquid to the broth. Stir in the chestnuts, parsley leaves and vinegar.
Season and serve.

1/2 cup fresh parsley

Potato-Barley Soup

6 servings

1 lg Onion; diced
2 Celery stalks; diced
4 Garlic cloves; minced
1/4 cup Vegetable oil
3 qt vegetable stock
1/2 cup Pearl barley; rinsed
2 Carrots; diced
2 lg Idaho potatoes
- peeled and diced
1/4 tsp Pepper
Salt to taste

Saute the onion, celery and garlic in oil until the vegetables become
translucent. Add the stock, barley and carrots. Simmer gently, stirring
occasionally, about 2 hours. Add the potatoes after the soup has cooked 1
hour. If the soup gets too thick, add more stock or water. Taste for
seasoning and add salt and pepper as needed.


Rice and Celery Soup (Minestra di Sedano e Riso)

2 cups (500 ml) diced celery
2 cups (500 ml) water
1/4 cup (60 ml) plus 2 Tbs (30 ml) olive oil
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup raw rice, preferably Arborio
2-4 cups (500 ml - 1 L) vegetable stock
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Combine the celery, water, and 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the olive oil in a
pot over moderate heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and
simmer covered for 15 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside
without draining. Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml)
olive oil in a large pot over moderate heat. Saute the onion until
tender but not brown. Using a slotted spoon, transfer about half the
cooked celery to the pot containing the onion and saute 2 or 3
minutes. Stir in the rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring
frequently. Add the stock and bring to a simmer. Meanwhile, puree
the celery mixture, including the liquid, in an electric blender or
food processor. Strain and add it to the soup. Adjust the seasoning
with salt and pepper and simmer uncovered until the rice is tender but
still firm, 15 to 20 minutes. Serve garnished with
chopped parsley. Serves 4 to 6.
