This soup is one that you can vary a million ways. Mark Bittman suggests different "hard" and "soft" veggies to use. I opted for potatoes and green beans, some of our favorite veggies. I wasn't pleased with the green bean selection at the grocery, so I decided to use canned. And that was a big mistake. The green beans tasted canned and that ruined every bite I took with them. So learn from my mistake: NO CANNED STUFF!
Other than the green beans, the soup was delicious and easy and nutritious, everything a good soup should be.
Day after update: Bryan and I both thought it was better the day after. Bryan thought the overall taste was better. And I thought the green beans had lost the canned taste.
I usually pick up some frozen green bean and spinach bags from Target to drop in my soups. You can use only part of bag at a time and put the bag back in the freezer for next time. The Target brand is cheap and works for me. Paul.
