from the Acadian section of _The Canadiana Cookbook_ by Mme. Jehane
Benoit. To quote the author, “R^ape in French means grated, so in
either case, r^apure or rappie” indicated that fact. A great deal of
French and English is mixed together in the Acadian language") (I had
to leave out the French accents.)

MMMMM

1 egg
2 tbsp Parmesan Cheese
2 garlic cloves
4 tbsp Mozzerella Cheese, shredded
1/8 cup Red Wine Vinegar
2/3 cup Olive Oil
Blend all ingredients with 1/3 cup olive oil in a blender. Blend one more
time adding 1/3 cup more olive oil. Refrigerate 2 hours.

This is the thickest dressing ever, and you will need a wooden spoon to scoop
it out of the blender. Absolutely the best recipe!!!

BACON AND BEAN SOUP

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 8 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Soups

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
3 sl Back bacon
3 Stalks celery, chopped
2 md Carrots, chopped
1 md Onion, chopped
1 c Chopped turnip
3 c Beef broth
1 Bay leaf
1/2 ts Thyme
1 cn (19oz) kidney OR pinto
-beans, drained and rinsed

Prep time: 25 minutes.

When the vegetables are finely chopped it takes only a
short simmering time to develop and blend the flavors
of the bacon and assorted winter vegetables. The beans
add character and a heartiness that is satisfying. And
an added plus – the soup is better a day or two after
it is made. Store it in a covered container in the
refrigerator.

Cut bacon into thin slivers. In a 12 cup saucepan,
combine bacon,celery, carrots, onion, turnip, beef
broth, bay leaf and thyme. Bring to a boil; reduce
heat, cover and simmer for 15 minutes or until
vegetables are tender. Add beans and continue to
simmer 5-10 minutes or until hot, and flavors are
blended. Remove the bay leaf and ladle into warm soup
tureen or soup bowls. Makes 8 servings.
