FRESH GREEN BEAN SOUP
My Mom used to make this for us while we were growing up. It is very delicious! You can add whatever spices and herbs that you like to change the soup up a bit. Sometimes I will add a bunch of cubed tomatoes or tomatilloes at the very end just to heat through. I will also add a scoop of sour cream on top to serve. My mouth...

Steps:
- 1. In a large pot bring some salted water to a boil and put in the beans, carrots and potatoes. Let them cook until tender.
- 2. In a frying pan start frying out the bacon. You can cut it up first or break it up later; up to you. Remove bacon from fat and drain.
- 3. In the bacon fat fry the chopped onion and garlic. When softened you can remove and add to the boiling pot or just start adding the flour. If you are using all of the fat you might need up to a 1/2 cup. Stir in slowly until it is bubbly and the thickness of pancake batter, Be careful not to burn!
- 4. Add scoops of this thick roux to the pot of boiling veggies. It makes a cool sizzling noise as it goes in. Simmer in between additions to see how thick it is getting. Stop when it is as thick as you like.
- 5. Now season the soup with whatever seasonings you like and let is simmer another 15 minutes or so. I generally use salt and pepper, maybe a bit of cumin or curry and some hot pepper flakes.
