Ingredients

1/2 lb green split peas (dry)

1/4 lb red lentils (dry)

2 tbl pearl barley (dry)

4 tbl white beans (dry)

1 good soup bone (oxtail, hambone etc)

1/2 lb beef shin (also known as beef shank) diced, cubed into small pieces

2 diced carrots

2 stalks celery

1 onion thinly sliced

2 quarts of water (to dechlorinate city water let stand overnight uncovered)

salt and freshly ground black pepper

large sprig of parsley

parsley for garnish

Serve with a crusty bread or cut a baguette on the bias, rub with extra virgin olive oil on both sides and crisp under the broiler. Rub a broken clove of garlic on the bread.

Directions

Pick over the peas, lentils, barley and white beans for stones and junk.

As a shortcut you can use canned beans but rinse the beans well before using.

Cover the dry beans only with water to cover to a depth 2X greater for expansion and leave to swell overnight

Next day rinse well

Put the bone and meat with 1 tsp salt and water into a large pot.

Bring to a boil, skim and then add the other ingredients.

Cover and simmer for 3 hours stirring occasionally

When the soup is ready the legumes will have broken down and dissolved into a puree.

Remove the bone, season with salt and pepper to taste

Garnish with snipped parsley

Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to make this but will use my crock pot. I love the ease that a crock pot gives and the food seems to meld the flavors better. In any case I'm looking forward to this, very much.
