Green Bean Soup

Servings: 6
Ingredients:

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.
