Soak 250 grams of white beans overnight.
Fry smoked bacon in oil or butter; add one onion and soup bone.
Add soaked beans and plenty of water, salt, pepper. Cook for one hour.
Remove soup bone. Add 2 diced potato, sliced carrot and half a green cabbage, savoy cabbage (Dutch: boerenkool) or white cabbage, shredded. Stew for 10 minutes or until vegetables are done.
Fry 3 cloves of diced garlic in 2 table spoons of olive oil. Mash together with 1 teaspoon dried bell pepper in mortar. Add 'garlic sauce' to pot.
Add spicy chorizo and (optional) black pudding (Spanish: morcilla, Dutch: bloedworst, Spanish kind). Stew for a long time, even more than one hour. Remove chorizo and morcilla and cut into bite sized chunks. Return to pot and serve. Add pepper and salt according to taste.
Variations:
Chickpeas instead of white beans.
