Black Bean Soup

Soak the beans overnight. Peel the garlic and onions, and trim the leeks and celery. Roughly chop the garlic, onions, leeks, and celery and sauté in the butter. Add the drained beans and the beef broth. Bring to a boil, skim off the skims, and simmer over low heat until the beans are tender. Strain through a sieve. Mince the vegetables and beans and bring back to a boil with the liquid. Season to taste with salt, pepper, and Madeira wine. Garnish with spring onions and a chopped egg.
