This vegetarian soup is enriched with dried red (not kidney) beans and
walnuts, an unlikely combination that Georgian cooking delights in
assembling. It is traditional.
1. Put beans & hot water in a pan, bring to a boil, & cook over
moderate heat until soft, abt 1 hour. Mash beans with 1 cup of the
liquid to a puree & return to pan. 2. Add walnut paste, salt,
pepper, celery & onions to pan and simmer over low heat for 10 mins.
Add herbs & simmer for 10 mins more. Serve hot with bread. Serves
6 to 8.
