Steps:
- Place the bacon in a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat and cook until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove the bacon and all but 2 to 3 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
- Add the onion and jalapeño and cook for a minute or two, then add the green beans. Cook until the green beans are bright green, an additional minute. Add the chicken stock, garlic powder and a good pinch of both salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer and lightly cover, allowing the some of the steam to escape. Cook until the liquid is evaporated and the beans are starting to soften, but still have a bite, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Transfer the beans to a serving vessel. Crumble the bacon and sprinkle it over the top of the beans, along with the fried onions.

Steps:
- In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until almost crisp. Remove bacon pieces, and set aside. Whisk flour into the bacon grease in the pan until it is thick and pasty. More or less flour may be required.
- Empty the cans of beans into a large saucepan with their liquid, and add enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, and stir in the bacon and the bacon grease mixture. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about an hour - the longer, the better. Season with vinegar to taste.

GRANDMA'S GREEN BEANS
My beloved and very much missed Grandmother was always asked to bring these to family gatherings.. The woman knew how to cook, raising 8 kids, 6 of them being girls, I think it's fair to say- she had a PHD.. ;).. I only wish I had more of her recipes to share..

Steps:
- Fry bacon til' it's crisp, on the stovetop. Add onion, cook until tender.
- Drain "all" liquid off of canned green beans.
- Add beans to bacon and onion mixture.
- Add bullion cube and water.
- Cook very slowly until beans "shrivel".
- Sometimes, ok well maybe always I have this compulsive need to add things to whatever I am cooking, and 98% of the time you can beat it's gonna be GARLIC or SPICES. Soo- there ya' go. Add in some garlic if you dare, or maybe some seasoning salt? :) But whatever you do- ENJOY!
Tips:
- Soak the beans overnight: This will help them cook more evenly and quickly.
- Use a variety of beans: This will give your soup a more complex flavor and texture. Good choices include Great Northern beans, navy beans, and black beans.
- Don't overcook the beans: They should be tender but still hold their shape.
- Use a good quality ham bone: This will give your soup a rich, smoky flavor. If you don't have a ham bone, you can use a smoked ham hock or a few slices of bacon.
- Add plenty of vegetables: This will make your soup more nutritious and flavorful. Good choices include carrots, celery, onions, and potatoes.
- Season your soup to taste: This is the most important step! Taste your soup as you go and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Conclusion:
Grandma's Heart-Stoppin' Green Bean Soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to warm you up from the inside out. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying soup, give this recipe a try!
