Mock Turtle Soup
- 1 pint of black beans 2 quarts of water
- thyme
- parsley
- summer savory
- 1 tablespoon of butter
- one sliced lemon
Soak over night 1 pint of black beans. The next day boil them in 2 quarts of water, until soft enough to rub through a colander; return them to the soup kettle. Tie in a bit of strainer cloth a bit each of thyme, parsley and summer savory; let it boil in the soup. Add 1 tablespoon of butter, cut the yolks of hard boiled eggs in quarters and add to the soup, with one sliced lemon. A good imitation of real turtle soup.
