    Recipe Introduction


    "This is a tasty dish from back in the days when flavor was all that mattered. This soup consists of green beans and bacon in a thick bacon gravy. Two pounds of fresh green beans may be used instead of canned."


    List of Ingredients




    1 pound bacon, cut into 1 inch pieces
    2 (15 ounce) cans green beans
    1 cup defatted chicken broth (this ingredient was not in original recipe)
    3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
    2 teaspoons red wine vinegar, or to taste

    Recipe



    1 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.
    2 Empty the cans of beans into a large saucepan with their liquid, and add chicken broth to cover. Bring to a boil, and 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.
