Ingredients
  • 2litres chicken broth
  • about 2c cubed ham or 1 farmer sausage
  • 1large onion chopped
  • 1 1/2 c celery, chopped
  • couple cloves garlic, smashed
  • about 4-6 cups of frozen green beans, yellow beans, carrots combo (I get mine from Costco), or equivalent mixture of fresh.
  • 1 bay leaf
  • some whole peppercorns
  • few sprigs of summer savoury (use thyme if you don't have savoury)
  • 2-3 large potatoes cubed
  • salt to taste
  • sprinkle of red pepper flakes

Directions
  1. Grab a stock pot, I think mines about 8L capacity, and put in your chicken broth and meat.
  2. Add onion,celery.garlic,bay leaf, peppercorns, savoury, red pepper flakes,and salt.
  3. Bring to a boil over med-high heat
  4. Add potatoes and bean/carrot mix
  5. Return to boil,then turn down to simmer.
  6. Simmer about 30 min til potatoes are done, or longer if you enjoy a long slow simmered soup.
  7. Add water if soup is getting too thick.
  8. My mom would always boil, then lightly saute some homemade noodles (kielke) and put them in the soup bowl before adding the soup. Finish off with a splash of half and half if desired. Serve with some nice crusty bread and butter. True comfort food!

Mennonites unite! I'm living in Belgium, but am a Canadian Mennonite. I remember my Grandma making this soup. Looking forward to trying this.
