Preparation:
Rinse the bean for a whole day. Because of the smoked meat, in the beginning the soup must be salted carefully.
Clean and chop the vegetables. Chop the half of the onion into small pieces; you can leave the other half in one piece. Chop the garlic into small pieces too, the other vegetables can be cut into circle or dice shaped pieces.
Boil the bean and the meat with the amount of water to cover the whole – temporarily without salt. When the bean softens, add the carrot, the turnip, the celery and the half onion. Taste it, to know, how mush meat soup is needed.
When the vegetables are half hard yet, make a roux made from paprika, garlic and onion, and thicken the soup.
After this, immediately add the spätzle, or csipetke. When it is boiled, the soup could be considered ready.
