This is a tangy soup that my mother used to make. I couldn't find another recipe like it, so thought I would write it down for my own sake and share it for others.

Ingredients

  • 3 potatoes, cut into cubes, or more to taste

  • 2 cups 1-inch cut green beans

  • water to cover

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 5 slices bacon, chopped

  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar, or to taste

  • 2 tablespoons white sugar, or to taste

Directions

  1. Place potatoes and green beans into a large pot. Pour enough water over potatoes and green beans just to cover and season with salt and pepper; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until potatoes are tender, about 20 minutes.

  2. Place bacon in a large skillet; cook and stir over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Stir flour into bacon until flour forms a paste, 2 to 3 minutes. Mix bacon mixture into potato mixture; bring to a boil and cook until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Mix vinegar and sugar into soup.
