Garbure

Don't be misled by the plain-looking appearance of this classic Basque soup; it is thoroughly satisfying and delicious.

Active time: 30 min Start to finish: 10 1/2 hr (includes soaking beans)

Cooks' notes:

• Beans can be soaked up to 12 hours, chilled. • To quick-soak beans: Cover beans with cold water by 2 inches in a 5- to 6-quart pot and bring to a boil, uncovered. Boil beans, uncovered, 2 minutes, then remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, 1 hour. • Soup improves in flavor if made 1 day ahead, cooled completely, uncovered, then chilled, covered. Remove any solidified fat and reheat, thinning with water if necessary.
