Pour stock into a double boiler. Sprinkle the surface with gelatin and allow it to _bloom_ for about 10 minutes. Heat gelatin to a syrupy consistency over water that is 100 to 110F. Remove and allow gelatin to thicken slightly. Set the bowl of bean/vegetable mixture into a large bowl filled with ice and stir occasionally as it cools. Add the gelatin.
