Best Traditional Mennonite Green Bean Soup Recipes
CREAM OF GREEN BEAN SOUP
I was so surprised when I found this recipe. It's made with fresh green beans, and uses potatoes to thicken it instead of flour or cornstarch. I especially like the tarragon in this soup. If it gets too thick, use the larger amount of whipping cream. To save calories, I like to use fat-free half and half. This was in a box of my mother's clipped recipes. I don't know where she clipped it from....looked like magazine paper to me.

Steps:
- Saute the green onions, shallot and garlic in the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Set aside.
- Cook the diced potatoes in boiling water to cover for 15 minutes, or until tender (depends on how small you diced them); drain well, and set aside.
- Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan; add green beans, and cook 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Add the reserved green onions and potato; stir well.
- Transfer half of the green bean mixture to the container of an electric blender; cover and process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides. Repeat the procedure with the remaining green bean mixture. (Sometimes I like to use my immersion blender, leaving some of the pieces whole). Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; stir in whipping cream or half and half, lemon juice, and tarragon. Cook until thoroughly heated. Serve, and sprinkle with black pepper.

QUICK PUREED GREEN BEAN SOUP
Our family has known for decades, that if you have a canker(mouth)sore, you eat 1/2 can of green beans and the canker will be gone the following day. A prescribed medication, recently, rendered my mouth full of cankers and too sore to even chew canned green beans. DIL suggested putting the canned green beans in my Bullet blender (best invention in years).My thought was, baby food. Okay! DH suggested soup! Thus this tasty recipe was born only an hour ago. I am waiting to see what the Zaar-ist comunity will add to it. Tabasco? Bacon? A grilled cheese sandwich? I dedicate this recipe to my DIL, Shar.

QUICK, EASY, AWESOME GREEN BEAN SOUP
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!!
