Ingredients

 * 1½ cups beans
 * salt to taste
 * 1 gin bottle full (½ – 1 cup) of palm oil
 * hot pepper to taste
 * 1 large onion
 * 2 chicken bouillon cubes
 * 1 small can tomato paste
 * 1 pound meat if desired

Directions

 * 1) Soak a cup and a half of beans overnight.
 * 2) What ever kind of beans they sell at the market that day will do.
 * 3) Boil the living daylights out of them until they are easily mashable.
 * 4) Mash half of the beans to smithereens.
 * 5) In a deep pot pour in a gin bottle full of oil (half cup) or about a cup if you want it really Liberian.
 * 6) If you want it more American, only put in enough to sauté one onion.
 * 7) Brown the onions and dump in a container of tomato paste.
 * 8) Add salt and pepper to taste, one teaspoon of red peppers, and a couple chicken bouillon cubes.
 * 9) Pour in the mashed and unmashed beans into the pot and bury it all in water -- about a cup or two.
 * 10) Then boil it all away.
 * 11) When the soup is thick, it's done.
