Black Bean Soup Recipe

From MISS FLORIDA CUNINGHAM, of South Carolina, Lady Manager.
Two quarts of okra out very fine in three quarts of water, in which
put a large shank of beef, and boil one hour. Then skim well and add
two quarts of fresh tomatoes, strained. Boil slowly and without
ceasing for at least five hours. Season with salt to the taste when
the tomatoes are put in, and add black and cayenne pepper when ready
to serve. Keep closely covered while cooking.
