  Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
     1/4  cup           White beans
     1/4  cup           Kidney beans
     1/4  cup           Split peas
     1/4  cup           Pinto beans
   2      tablespoons   Pot barley
   2      tablespoons   Parsley
   2      tablespoons   Dried onions
   1                    Bay leaf
   2      tablespoons   Powdered beef broth
   1      can           Tomato soup
   1      pound         Hamburg -- fried & drained

Sort and wash beans. Cover generously with water and soak overnight
 OR bring to a boil and let simmer for 1-2 minutes. Then remove from heat and let stand for one hour.
 Drain.

 Top with 6 cups water, add bay leaf and onions, and simmer until done (1 1/2-2 hours).
 Add tomato soup, hamburg, powdered beef broth, and parsley.
Simmer a few more minutes.

 Do not add salt of any kind until the last 5 minutes. It toughens the beans and the
 cooking time will be twice as long.
