Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 ½ cups peeled and diced potatoes
⅓ cup melted butter
½ cup diced onion
⅓ cup bacon bits
1 (10.5 ounce) can cream of chicken soup
3 cups milk
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Place the green beans into a pot with enough water to cover. Add the baking soda to the water; bring the mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the green beans are nearly tender, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain the water from the green beans; set aside.
  • Place the potatoes into a large pot with enough salted water to cover; bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking until almost tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, but do not drain the water from the pot.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the onion and bacon bits in the melted butter until the onions are soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add to the large pot with the potatoes, along with the cream of chicken soup and milk; stir until smooth. Add the green beans. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Place the large pot over low heat and cook the soup at a simmer until hot and the flavors have melded, about 30 minutes.

QUICK, EASY, AWESOME GREEN BEAN SOUP



Quick, Easy, Awesome Green Bean Soup image

I think this is the only recipe I actually made out of some low-cal cookbook I bought. This is NOT a recipe for frozen or canned beans, use fresh and using enough garlic is the key. I usually use about 12 - 15 cloves. Like the title says, it's really quick, easy and awesome...I think it's also healthy!! Healthy is not one of my favorite cooking terms, so if it's healthy and I like it, you know it's good!!
