You might want to add a little chicken base to it. It might be an
acquired taste but I grew up eating it and do make it -- usually with a
little chicken base in it. I don't think today's potatoes taste as good
as the ones we grew when I was growing up. We used manure for
fertilizer not chemical applications.

Barb, don't you also have a recipe for Slovak green bean soup? I think it
was mentioned once here in rfc, but I can't find the recipe.

I have a recipe for a green bean soup that Sister Marge thinks is "on
the order of Mom's." Not even close. Mom's green bean soup was a sour
soup with vinegar and non-dairy creamer (so it wouldn't curdle); Marge's
recipe calls for something like a *teaspoon* of vinegar. Lemme get it.
Also, Mom's likely did NOT involve chicken broth.

Thanks so much, Barb! This certainly looks as though it could be the same
or very similar to the soup my friends mother used to make, though I don't
recall it having chicken stock. (I could be wrong) Given that it's sour
cream, I would imagine that the vinegar could be increased without the sour
cream curdling. I'm certainly going to try this sometime between
Thanksgiving and Christmas.

When I make this, I increase the vinegar considerably and skip the sour
cream. What I think wasn't so clear in my post above was that Mom's
soup was thicker than than this -- this is naught but broth; hers had a
bit more body to it.

Gotcha. Thanks. My friend's mother's soup was no so thick either.
