Soak the beans overnight in a large soup pot with 2 quarts of water.

heating, sauté.the salt pork or bacon, add the garlic, onion and hot pepper
and cook until the onion is golden. Add the simmering beans and stir gently
to blend.

directions until almost al dente, but still very firm. Drain, add to the
soup and cook a few minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
