--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2                    Smoked pig's feet
     1/2   lb           Smoked pork ribs
   1                    Celery knob -- peeled, diced
     1/4   lb           Beans
   1       md           Onions -- peeled, chopped
   1       tb           Lard
   1       tb           Parsley -- chopped
   1       tb           All-purpose flour
     1/2   tb           Paprika
   1       cl           Garlic -- mashed
     1/2   lb           Smoked pork sausage
                        Salt
   2       tb           Sour cream

  Cook smoked pig's feet and pork ribs in 2 qt water until the meat
  comes of the bones. Bone them and put meat pieces aside.

  Add the diced celery and the beans to the meat broth, cook until
  beans are done.

  Meantime, fry onion in lard over low heat. When onion is wilted,
  add chopped parsley and flour and make a brown roux over the lowest
  heat possible. Stir often to prevent burning.

  When the roux is light brown, mix in paprika and garlic;
  immediately add 1 cup cold water. Whip until smooth, then pour into
  the cooked beans.

  Add smoked sausage and 1/2 tb salt. Simmer for 10 minutes.

  Cut smoked meats into small pieces, and add to the soup. Adjust
  salt. Add the sour cream.

  Serve with Little Pinched Dumplings (recipe).

  Almost any type can be used, cranberry or pinto beans, for
  instance. If you use dried beans, sook them overnight first.
