GERMAN GREEN BEAN SOUP (GRüNE BOHNENSUPPE)

Steps:

• Wash the beans, cut off the ends, and then cut them into halves or thirds depending on the size of them.
• Peel the potatoes, carrots, and celery root. Cut everything into small cubes.
• Peel the onion and finely chop it.
• Wash the leek really well (it can be quite dirty) and cut it into rings.
• Heat one teaspoon of oil in a large pot. Add the pancetta bacon and fry it for a few minutes until the fatty pieces appear cooked. Then add the onions and sauté them until the onions are translucent and the pancetta bacon is slightly brown.
• Add the vegetables (potatoes, carrots, celery root, green beans, and leek) and sauté them for around 2 minutes as well.
• Now add enough vegetable broth so that it just covers the contents of the pot. In our case, this is usually around 8 cups of vegetable broth - but it might be more or less in your case depending on the size of your pot and your vegetables.
• Add the chopped parsley and savory. Give everything a stir.
• Add the lid to the pot and bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Then turn down the heat and let the soup simmer for around 20-25 minutes until the vegetables are soft.
• Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
