each batch makes 2½ quarts.) - To make one batch of soup: Place 1½ cups bean
mix in a Dutch oven, cover with 2 in. of water and
bring to a boil, boil for 2 minutes. Remove from
the heat and let stand for 1 hour. Drain, discarding
liquid. Return beans to kettle, add water.

for 1½ to 2 hours or until beans are tender. - Add the onion, carrot, chili powder, salt, pepper and
cloves. Return to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer,

decorative
ribbon or cord.”
