What you didn't have the green bean soup or the butter soup?...both are
excellent. I haven't eaten at the heritage Village but further west in
the towns of Winkler and Morden there is excellent Mennonite food.


I suggest checking out Amish food for a similar recipe...that where I
found my copycat green bean soup recipe (almost exactly right... still
playing with it though). Or inquire on-line at the heritage village...
perhaps a cookbook is for sale. Or they might know where a cookbook
might be purchased.
