Green Bean Cream Soup (Luxembourgish Bou’neshlupp)

Luxembourg green bean soup is found all over the country. It is called Bou’neshlupp and was light and superb. Often times they like to add sausage to this soup to make it heartier. The green beans were cut and cooked until just tender with still a bit of bite. I would highly recommend this soup for any occasion.

½ lb green beans, sliced
1 lb potato, peeled and diced
1 white onion, diced
4 slices bacon
½ pt cream or sour cream
cooked sausage, sliced
sea salt
black pepper, freshly ground

Take the beans, potato and onion and put in a pot and cover with water by an inch or two.

Cover and boil in the water until soft.

Meanwhile fry slices of bacon and add bacon bits and the fat into the soup pot.

Add in about ½ pt of cream and simmer.

Salt and pepper to taste.

Serve in bowls and add a slice of cooked sausage.

Makes 4 servings.
