[QUOTE="nofearfactor, post: 2014442, member: 1535"] Im Osage-Kaw indian and have been eating various bean and dried corn dishes all my life. My full blood Osage gramma made old fashioned corn soups and my Osage-Kaw grampa liked this thick soup with beans and dried corn that his Kaw momma used to make. I like it too and have ate it ever since I was born I think. After my gramma passed my mom started making the soups and now me and my brothers and sisters all make em. The wife and kids beg me for the beans n dried corn soup when it first gets cold, but its a ***** to make. Cold is here, so I guess I better get a pot going for them this weekend. Easy recipe if you can find the stuff to make it. I prefer to use navy beans but great white are ok. I then have to find a box of Copes dried corn ( our closest store- CountryMart in Coweta- carries it, but some dont, and finding real dried corn like I suppose my great grandmother used to use is rare. I find the Copes in the canned corn section, back home in California and other places I have found it in the soup section. A few stores near places I have lived that didnt carry it would order it for me. If Im in a place and cant find it I just order it online. ( [url]http://www.johncopes.com/[/url] ). Last thing to grab is a big package of thick and meaty pork country style ribs. ( Pretty sure my ancestors used buffalo meat or whatever they caught when they made this, so even though I havent tried it, it might be great with most any type of fatty rib meat). I sort and rinse the dry beans then add to a large cook pot, add a package of the driedcorn, and then fill the pot about half or more with water. I crank the heat on high until I get the water boiling then at boil I add the country style ribs and drop the heat to low simmering the beans for 4-5 hours, stirring here and there to keep it from sticking on the bottom, adding water if need to until near the last hour or until its as thick as I like it.
