Mom's Green Bean Soup
Jeanne
A creamy soup that great at the peak of summer when green beans are plentiful. Great with zucchini pancakes.
ingredients
- 2 lb fresh green beans
- Water or chicken stock (enough to cover beans)
- 1/4 cup of butter
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 to 2 qt whole milk
- Salt and Pepper to taste
directions
- 1
Snip ends of green beans, cut in half, and wash. Steam beans in enough water to cover until bright green (do not drain water/stock).

In a separate pan, brown the onion in butter. Add flour and cook into a light roux. Add the onion and roux to the undrained steamed beans. While stirring, add milk. Simmer until beans are cooked through and soup is creamy and thickened!
notes
This was a favorite at the end of summer when we would help harvest the beans from our garden!
