This is a thick, "stew like" soup - very meaty tasing, with little meat. I got this from my boyfriend's mom.

Time 3h15m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 lb adzuki beans
1 lb pork, cut into chunks
1 large carrot
1 large onion
3 large celery ribs, with leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons basil
1 1/2 teaspoons marjoram
2 teaspoons black pepper
2 teaspoons salt
4 cups water
1/4 cup sherry wine (medium dry)

Steps:

  • Boil the Adzuki beans until they are slightly soft.
  • Drain the water and rinse the beans, place them back in a large pot.
  • Chop up the carrots, celery, and onions, and place them in the pot with the beans.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients (spices, pork, water), except the sherry.
  • Mix the ingredients.
  • Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat and cook just under a boil for 2 to 3 hours (until beans are very soft, soup is thick and vegetables have thoroughly cooked).
  • Before serving, add the sherry and stir.
  • I like a particularly thick,"stew like" soup.
  • If you want a thinner soup, just add more water!
  • Also, I tend to add my spices liberally- just season to taste!
  • The pork is mainly to give flavour, so get something with a little fat on it!
  • Note: Adzuki beans are Japanese beans.
  • You can substitute with other beans, but the cooking time may vary.
