A recipe from my home area in South Dakota. This is a no recipe recipe..good cooks will know how to make this

Russian Green Bean Soup

Cover a meaty ham bone with water in a soup pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to simmer and add a large onion (diced) a couple of potatoes (peeled and dice) and some green beans either fresh or frozen. This soup is ideal with late season green beans that are not very tender. Use the cheapest generic frozen green beans. Season with salt, pepper, a couple of bay leaves and lots of savory. Cut the meat from the ham bone and add to the soup. A dash of liquid smoke is good too. When serving stir in a good tablespoon of sour cream in the bowl.

My grandmother used to make something called pepper pot soup. It was awesome.

I find beef vegetable to be the family's favorite.

A few tips when making homemade chicken noodle soup. I always add two cups of V8 tomato juice (or other store brand) & the powdered chicken stock you can find in a jar at local grocery stores. It's more like a paste, use about 3 heaping tbs. to a big pot of soup.

Oh, and cabbage, cut up about a 1/4th head of cabbage and add to the soup. The second day all these flavors blend & oh my, my grandkids love it!

And of course, your celery, carrots & onions.

My mom was a fabulous cook, but never had a recipe for anything, I've spent years trying to duplicate the flavors & feel I am about 100% with the chicken soup, FINALLY!!

My doctor told me that soup (homemade) is not only very nutritious but a wonderful diet aid. He said that the liquid helps fill you and if it is hot... it takes more than 20 minutes to eat so you fill up. It really is very easy to make. My personal favorites: beef vegetable, chicken and rice, and split pea.

i made albondigas soup for the first time a couple of days ago... it was sooooo goooood... i got such a good response from family and friends that i made it again the following day... i ate two bowls the first day and one bowl the following day and lost 2.5 lbs! i was so surprised... it’s a Mexican meatball soup... mine is spicy... i serve it with fried corn tortilla strips on top... and guacamole on the side to tame the spicy-ness...

My husband makes the best chicken noodle soup I’ve ever tasted.

Besides the chicken and noodles, he adds already cooked rice, cans of whole corn, canned green beans, potatoes and canned peas with a teaspoon of better than bouillon chicken base.

He uses that in gumbo too. It tastes creamy.

I love soup.
