Bacon + Green Bean Soup




Source of Recipe

A tasty soup with green beans in a thick bacon gravy.

Bacon + Green Bean Soup

1 pound bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
2, 15 ounce cans green beans, undrained or
...2 pounds of fresh
1 cup defatted chicken broth
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, or to taste

In a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat until almost crisp.
Remove bacon pieces, and set aside.
Whisk flour into the bacon grease in the pan until it is thick and pasty.
More or less flour may be required.
Empty the cans of beans into a large saucepan with the liquid, and add
chicken broth to cover.
Bring to a boil.
Stir in the bacon and the bacon grease mixture.
Reduce heat to low, and simmer for about an hour - the longer, the better.
Season with vinegar to taste.
