Print PAST EXPERIMENTS 2018: Baked Bean Soup (From: The Frugal Gourmet Cooks American: Serves 6) Ingredients 3 C cold baked beans 6 C cold water 2 slices onion 2 stalks celery with leaves 1-1/2 C stewed canned tomatoes 1 Tablespoon chili sauce 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 2 teaspoon sugar 2 Tablespoons butter 2 Tablespoons flour Directions Put the beans, water, onion, and celery in a saucepan and bring to a boil for 30 minutes. They would rub this through a sieve, but I put mine through the food processor. Do the same with the tomatoes and add to the soup. Add the chili sauce and seasonings. Melt the butter and cook with the flour for 2 minutes to form a roux. Stir the roux into the soup and keep stirring over medium heat until the soup thickens a bit.
