GREEN BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat up 2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil and add 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Once the butter melts, add finely chopped onions and garlic and sautee for a few minutes.
• Add finely diced bacon and saute for 5 more minutes. You can also use cooked ham for this green bean soup recipe.
• In the meantime, clean the green beans and dice your potatoes.
• Add the green beans and potatoes, mix well and sautee for 5 more minutes.
• Pour in the chicken stock/broth and water. Add 4-5 allspice corns, 3 bay leaves and a generous amount of salt & pepper.
• Cover the pot and simmer on low for 30 minutes.
• Use the time to hard boil 4-5 eggs. Once cooked, peel and finely chop these.
• Once 30 minutes have elapsed, remove the bay leaves from our green bean soup.
• Mix 3 tablespoons of all purpose flour with 500ml (5 cups) of whipping cream.
• Whisk the cream & flour mixture into the soup and make sure no lumps are forming.
• Keep stirring the soup until it thickens, it will take 2-3 minutes as the flour cooks.
• Add the chopped eggs and fresh dill into the green bean soup now. Season with a pinch of ground nutmeg.
• Now comes the most important phase, we need to finalize the taste with sugar and vinegar. I've added 5 tablespoons of sugar and 4 tablespoons of vinegar. Please keep in mind that you might have to adjust these amounts based on what sugar, and especially vinegar, you are using. Aim for a balanced sweet & sour taste, where none of them dominates.
• Simmer for a few minutes so the flavors combine and give the soup a final taste. You will likely have to add more salt, which is usually the case with creamy soups that contain potatoes and this green bean soup is no exception.
• Once you're happy with the taste, our green bean soup is ready. I'm serving it with fresh bread and some more chopped dill as garnish.

• Crumble BACON over the top of the ONIONS.
• Pour SUGAR/VINEGAR/GARLIC/BACON FAT mixture over the top of the BACON.
• Bake at 250 degrees for 4 hours.
• For a better presentation, I would drain the liquid off of the beans before serving, or serve the beans in soup bowls. But, keep the liquid, just in case you do reheat the beans.
