Directions

  1. Place the cranberry beans into a large container and cover with several inches of cool water, let stand 8 hours to overnight.

  2. Bring cranberry beans, pork, water, garlic, bay leaves, and salt to a boil in a large stockpot. Cover and simmer until beans are just tender, about 1 hour. Reduce heat to low and keep covered.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour until dissolved, about 10 seconds. Scrape flour mixture into soup.

  4. Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, cook and stir until softened, about 5 minutes. Add cornmeal, cook and stir until well-combined, about 2 minutes more. Scrape onion mixture into soup. Return soup to simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until beans have softened and flavors have combined, about 40 minutes.

  5. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat. Add bacon, cook and stir until golden, about 5 minutes. Stir in sauerkraut, cook and stir until liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes more. Stir sauerkraut mixture into soup. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until flavors combine, about 15 minutes more. Garnish with parsley.

Recipe Note

This is a very old recipe for a frugal farmer soup. The name comes from the word jutta, which is Latin for concoction. I love good, hearty foods that have history often born of necessity and availability. Make a big pot;it is even better the next day.
