 Directions

Soak beans in 6 cups water for at least 6 hours or overnight. Drain and
discard soaking water.

In a 5- or 6-quart pot, bring 8 cups of water, along with pre-soaked pinto
beans and bay leaf, to a boil. Simmer, covered, for about 20 minutes.

Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, chives, celery salt, garlic, tamari,
cayenne pepper, cumin and olive oil. Return mixture to a boil, then reduce
heat and simmer, covered, until beans are tender, about 30 minutes.

In a blender, combine 2 cups of the hot soup broth with cornmeal and
imitation bacon bits until smooth. (Keep lid on tight.) Stirring
constantly, gradually add cornmeal mixture to soup. Simmer and continue
cooking for about 10 minutes, or until cornmeal is cooked (soup will
thicken). Add sea salt, and adjust seasonings to taste. Serve hot.
