3 qt. water, boiling

4. add onion, celery, and water to make a total volume of 1-1/2 gal.
5. cook 30 minutes.

source: KJFSC

Notes: This is one of my all time favorite soups, especially for cold weather. It will benefit from a bouquet garni, or from garnishing with a bit of finely chopped fresh parsley, a sprinkle of paprika, and/or some minced thyme. A vegetarian version can be crafted substituting 1/2 – 1 lb. mushrooms and 1-2 tablespoons of sesame oil for the ham shanks. White beans, red kidney beans, and black beans do well in this same recipe (red or black beans need to cook rather longer than navy beans).
