STRING BEAN SOUP
String bean soup is a month of June tradition in our family. In northeast PA the month of June is string bean picking time. That doesn’t mean I only crave this soup in June! A reminder that I said in an earlier post that I don’t have many soup recipes up my sleeve and I have to admit this is the best one! This soup is too good to keep a secret so I am happy to share it!
This recipe is not difficult to make but it does take a little time to prepare to get it just right. I generally don’t like to waste my time with things that are only so-so. Chopping the vegetables and waiting for the onions to melt is time consuming but the effort that goes into preparing this soup is definitely not a waste of time! This is an absolutely amazing creamy soup! Serve with a nice piece of Rye Bread.
