Prep Time

15 minutes

Cook Time

45 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 slices of bacon, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups of chicken broth
  • 2 cups of green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 2 cups of potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 teaspoon of dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup of heavy cream

Equipment

  • Large soup pot
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp knife
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method

  1. Heat a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pot and sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth and add the green beans, potatoes, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
  4. Use a potato masher to mash some of the potatoes in the soup to create a thicker consistency.
  5. Add the heavy cream to the soup and stir well. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  6. Remove the pot from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  7. Use an immersion blender to blend the soup until it reaches your desired consistency. If you don't have an immersion blender, use a regular blender and blend the soup in batches.
  8. Return the soup to the pot and heat it over medium heat until it's hot and bubbly.
  9. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  10. Serve hot with crusty bread for dipping.
