/ck/ - Food & Cooking

So let's get started on our Bou'neschlupp, which means green bean soup. Normally this thing would be hearty as fuck. Heavy cream, bacon, sausage, ham... Of which I can have none. In addition to trying to lose weight, I've got some thyroid and pituitary conditions. Cured, heavily salted meats tend to fuck my shit up. And I'm not going to make something that I won't eat, that's wasteful and retarded.

Here's what you'll need:

1 whole, medium white potato peeled and cubed
1 whole carrot, peeled and chopped accordingly (you want each piece to be no bigger than a nickel in diameter)
1/2 chopped white onion
1 cup chopped asparagus
1/2 bag of frozen green beans

Yes, I used frozen green beans. My grocery store didn't have fresh when I made this. Shoot me. If you're going to use fresh green beans, after you snap them you should have around 2-4 cups. Set half of them to the side.

If you're using frozen green beans, you only need 1/2 of the bag for now, but don't put away the other half. Set that, as well as a handful of asparagus stalks to the side for later. Those ingredients aren't pictured here, but they are necessary for the last few steps.

You'll also notice there's no seasoning here. That's because all I used was salt and pepper, and both of those things were to taste. I didn't measure them because some people like things super salty, others like to keep their salt at a minimum. You're all adults, you can figure this out. If you really, really want to you can mince up some garlic for the next step but really, you don't need it.

Let's continue.
