2 c  Black turtle beans
1    Diced Carrot
3    Strips of bacon
1    Salt and Pepper
1 tb Honey
1 c  Diced Onion
2    Diced Celery Stalks
2 c  Chicken Stock
4    Bay leaves

Combine all the ingredients and add enough water to cover the beans. Bring
to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until beans are thoroughly
cooked. Add more water as required. Remove bay leaves and puree the soup
in a blender. Then pass the soup through a fine sieve to remove the skins
of the beans.
