     1 lb Andouille or smoked sausage;

 flat leave it out. -- UDD

 Place beans in a dutch oven with water. Bring to a
 boil; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Cover
 and let stand for one hour. Drain and rinse beans.

 Return to Dutch oven with broth, garlic and bay
 leaves; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer
 for 1 1/4 hours. Stir in all remaining ingredients.

 Cover and simmer for one hour or until beans and
 vegetables are tender and gravy is thick. Remove bay
 leaves. Serve over rice.

 This meal costs only $.68 per plate.

 NOTE: I cannot find when this recipe appeared in T.O.H.
 But I cannot make it (in 2004) for 68c/serving. Even if
 I leave out the sausage. -- UDD
