INSTRUCTIONS

MAKES 4-quarts; 8 as main course.  BEANS AND WHEAT BERRIES: Rinse the
soaked beans and wheat berries and  put them in a pressure cooker. Add
the water, leafy piece of celery,  chunk of carrot, bay leaf or two,
light olive oil or canola oil and  garlic cloves, halved, green centers
removed. Stir well. The pressure  cooker should be about half full, no
more than two-thirds full. Cover  and lock; heat to full pressure. Let
cook under pressure about 2  minutes. Turn off the heat and let the
cooker stand on the same  burner for about 1 hour or until it cools of
it's own accord. Discard  the celery; mash the cooked chunk of carrot.
Remove the bay leaf and  boiled garlic (if you prefer). Pour the beans
and wheat berries into  a large strainer over a 4-cup or large
measuring bowl.  Blanch the green beans in plenty of boiling water for
abotu 60 to 90  seconds. Transfer to a bowl of ice water. Drain. Set
aside.  SOUP: While the cooker cools, start the soup. In a large pot or
Dutch  oven (5-6 qt), heat (extra) virgin olive oil to medium and add
the  onion. Cook, stirring, until soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the minced
garlic, diced carrot, diced parsnip, half of the chopped cabbage,  sage
(chopped or chiffonade) and rosemary. Cook, stirring, until  fragrant,
about 4 minute more. Add pinches of salt and cayenne  pepper. Stir
well.  Finally add the tomatoes with juice, water reserved from
pressure  cooker, vegetarian bouillon (cubes or paste) and the rest of
the  cabbage. Add water to cover the vegetables by about 1/2-inch or
more.  Bring to a simmer (do no boil); cover; reduce heat; and simmer
gently  at least 15 minutes. Add the green beans, white beans and wheat
berries. Heat through. Add parsley, cilantro and kale pesto. Turn off
heat and let stand about 5 minutes.  Adjust seasonings with salt,
pepper, rubbed sage, garlic powder.  Serve with a warmed crusty french
roll. Offer the Parmesan at table.  (The soup will keep, covered, in
the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)  Hanneman Tested: 10/12/98 [Per
