Steps:
- Cover green beans with water in a large pot. Add ham, bouillon, paprika, and cayenne. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to low and let simmer until beans are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, melt butter in a frying pan over medium heat. Add flour and cook until almost brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in diced onion; cook until it begins to brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook and stir dried onions in the mixture until they begin to lightly brown, 3 to 4 minutes, being careful as they burn easily. Add paprika and pepper. Pour in water and stir until mixture is smooth.
- Whip sour cream in a bowl and mix into flour mixture until smooth. Stir sour cream mixture into cooled green beans. Heat soup over medium heat until simmering; cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Serve.

HAM AND STRING/GREEN BEAN SOUP
This is a fantastic way to use up the leftover holiday ham or the bountiful crop of string beans from the garden. It is easy to prepare and smells wonderful while it simmers away on the stove. The soup has a slightly thickened broth that is very silky and just makes it even more comforting. A loaf of crusty bread is all that is needed to fill this meal out.

Steps:
- Place the ham in large pot and fill pot about half way with either water or chicken stock, add onion, and celery and cover. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour. (If ham is on the bone let it simmer for about 90 minutes or until the ham starts to fall off the bone before proceeding.).
- Add carrots, potatoes, and string beans to pot and continue simmering for about 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
- If using a ham bone remove ham from bone while the veggies are cooking and discard the bone.
- When potatoes are done mix butter and flour to form paste, slowly add to pot to slightly thicken broth. (You don't want it gravy thick but to have a little body so more or less of the mixture might be needed depending on how much broth there is.).
