chopped parsley and flour and make a brown roux over the lowest heat
possible. Stir often to prevent burning.
When the roux is light brown, mix in paprika and garlic; immediately add
1 cup cold water. Whip till smooth, then pour into the cooked beans.

Cut smoked meats into small pieces, and add to the soup. Adjust salt. Add
the sour cream.

Almost any type can be used, cranberry or pinto beans, for instance. If
you use dried beans, sook them overnight first.
