Soup Recipe ✓ Creamy Green Bean Soup

Creamy green bean soup my mother always made from fresh green beans out of the garden!

Ingredients

• 8 cups water
• 2 pounds chopped fully-cooked ham
• 4 cups fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
• 3 cups cubed potatoes
• 2 onions, sliced
• 1 cup cream
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Place the water, ham, green beans, potatoes, and onions into a large saucepan or soup pot, bring to a boil, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until the ham and vegetables are very tender, about 45 minutes. Skim off any excess fat. Pour in the cream, season to taste with salt and pepper, and serve.
