 Categories: Soups
      Yield: 6 servings
 
    1/2 c  Butter
      2 md Onions, diced
      2 c  Fresh cut green beans
    1/2 c  Flour
      5 c  Bouillon
      1 pt Sour cream
 
  Meat for flavoring: ham hocks, leftover roast, stew or ground beef,
  and/or mashed potatoes Salt, pepper, garlic powder, bouquet garni
  Additional flour if needed
  
  Melt the butter in a large sauce pan and brown the onions. Add green
  beans and simmer for five to ten minutes. Stir in flour and cook five
  more minutes. Gradually add bouillon, stirring constantly so that the
  flour doesn't lump. Reduce heat and simmer for one hour. Add meat
  and/or mashed potatoes if desired. All are extremely good. Season to
  taste and continue to simmer slowly. Just before serving, mix a
  little of the soup with the sour cream until the cream becomes rather
  liquid. If the soup seems too thin, add a little flour to the sour
  cream mixture. Add this to the soup. Serve with salad and garlic
  bread.
