- Serves 8
"From an old cookbook this is the lineal descendant for which Esau sold his birthright. The kind of soup to to come home to on a cold winters night" according to the recipe.

How to make it
- 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
