GERMAN BEAN SOUP (BOHNENSUPPE)
Hugely chunky, thick, colorful, and peppery, this great peasant soup is filled with chewy ham, tender beans and potatoes, with carrots and green beans along for the ride for texture, color, and taste. Its an excellent hearty meal, most especially with a frosted stein of good beer and chewy bread. Posted by request. Copied and pasted from Soupsong.
