There are some greens you can find easily throughout the years, like green beans. We called it “four season beans” in Taiwan. The most common way to cook green beans for us is to fried it with garlic and chili, but I decided to make it into a soup this time. It is uncommon but worth trying!
Here goes the recipe:

3. In a separate pot with water cook the potatoes until softened.
4. Fried the bacons in a pan till crispy. Remove them once done then add all the onion in the same pan. Cooks until softened.
5. Cut the bacon into smaller and thinner pieces.
6. In a mixer, blend together potatoes and green beans in 2 times. Add the onions and bacon, blend until smooth. (I saved few little bacon strips for topping)

This is a comfort dish. Happy cooking!
