To this day I love soups and making soups. One of my favorites growing up was my Grandmother (and Mother's) Green Bean Soup. Below is a recipe that I just found on the net for a Croatian Green Bean Soup that won 1st prize on a web recipe site, it is from May Gobats Hahne Ingredients: 1 pound green beans 4 quarts water 3 large potatoes cubed 3 carrots diced 1 onion diced 4 Tbsp flour 1/4 cup oil salt & pepper 1. Wash and snap beans in half 2. Boil until almost tender - keep adding water if needed. 3. Add: carrots and potatoes and boil till done. 4. In a small pan brown onion in oil. Add flour to onion/oil mixture brown till a golden color. 5. Add: onion/flour mixture to soup. Makes a stew type soup. The only difference was that my GM and Mother fried bacon and used the bacon fat for the zafrig and then cut the bacon into small bits and added that to the soup.

Our families green bean soup is more Hungarian and similiar to what June Meyer makes (her recipe is on the Internet). We add sour cream, paprika, and vinegar. My youngest son (40 in August and born in Germany) loves this so much that he would eat it for breakfast if there was any leftover. Our English friend always wanted an International Thanksgiving dinner and wanted my mom to make the green bean soup every year and hoped for leftovers so he could enjoy it the next day.
