I needed bacon fat for the soup, but not bacon, so I had a 1/2 bacon avocado sandwich on fresh toasted bread too.
The green bean soup is potatoes, onion, seasonings and green beans. I cooked it all in some leftover chicken broth, added a little butter, bacon fat and cream cheese.
My best friend's Mom would make this soup in the late summer when the beans were coming in the garden. She added sour cream and crumbled bacon as a garnish.
Happy Sunday!
