Breton Vegetable Soup

Ingredients for four to six people:

• 300g dried white beans
• 2 carrots
• 1 stick of celery
• 2 leeks
• 2 onions
• 1 bunch of flat leaf parsley
• Salt and ground pepper
• 200g of bacon
• 200g of Guemine chitterling sausage
• Bouquet garni

The white beans are soaked overnight in cold water. Then drained and boiled in water for an hour.

Prepare and slice the vegetables. Place the vegetables (except the leeks) in a saucepan with the beans and the garni and add salt and pepper. Boil and then add the single piece of flat bacon. Cook for an hour and then add the leeks with additional pepper. Cook for another hour.

Take out the bouquet garni. Remove the bacon and take of the rind. Dice the bacon. Remove the skin of the chitterling sausages and cut into slices. Place the sausages onto each plate, covering them with the vegetable soup. Add the bacon and finely chopped parsley to each serving.
