Drain the beans when they are tender and mash them slightly with a  
fork. (The bean stock would be excellent soup stock so don’t throw it  
away.)  
. Heat the oil in a large soup pot or pressure cooker that holds at least 4  
quarts. Sauté the onions, celery, garlic and rice until the vegetables  
are soft but not browned.  
. Stir in one cup of stock; and while continuing to cook over low heat,  
add the herbs and spices. You might want to put the bay leaf, pepper-  
corns and cloves in a tea ball or a square of cheesecloth.
