Preparation

the day before, the beans are soaked in cold water. the beans are introduced in abundant cold water and cooked with the peeled onion and skewered with cloves, olive oil and ham bone or pork bones. when the beans are cooked, the turnips are peeled and cut into small cubes, the carrots in thin slices and the pumpkin in large cubes. as soon as the carrots are tender, add the potatoes, peeled and cut into squares, the fresh branch of the turnip ripped and the cabbage cut into wide strips. let everything be cooked and refined. rectify the seasoning, add salt if necessary. eat by pouring 1 teaspoon of vinegar on each plate. using the ham bone, the meat must be separated and shredded, cut the fat into small pieces and put it back in the soup. not using the ham bone, add a piece of bacon (125 g approx.) or 3 more tablespoons of olive oil. some people like to eat this spicy soup with a few drops of piripiri.
