Basque potato and green bean soup with garlic is a traditional dish from the Basque Country, a region straddling the border between Spain and France. This hearty soup is made with simple, rustic ingredients, and is a great way to warm up on a cold day. The soup is typically made with potatoes, green beans, garlic, and olive oil, and can be seasoned with salt, pepper, and paprika. It is often served with bread or rice, and can be garnished with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives.

Steps:
- Place the potatoes, one tablespoon of salt and the water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are nearly soft through, about 15 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, uncovered, until they start to turn tender and lose their bright green color, about 15 minutes.
- While the beans and potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown, about five to eight minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
- When the beans and potatoes are cooked, add the garlic and olive oil to the soup and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.
