Directions:
Rinse the beans and soak them in cold water to cover overnight. Drain. In a large soup pot, heat the oil. Add the onions and linguica and cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onions begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the beans, kale, potatoes, broth, tomatoes, vegetable juice and water. Season with the celery salt, garlic salt and black and white peppers. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium low and cook, covered, until the beans are tender, approximately 2 hours. Stir in the bell pepper. Cool the soup and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to 2 days. Reheat gently. Add more water and adjust the seasonings, if necessary, and serve.
