Bean soup is a very tasty, filling and healthy hot dish. Bean soup will warm you up on a winter day and fill you up in the summer heat. To prepare the soup, you will need green beans. This dish is good because it can be cooked all year round: in the summer from fresh beans, and in the cold season - from frozen ones. It is ideal if you have a bean crop in your garden and you have prepared it for the winter by putting it in the freezer. In this case, there will be no doubts about the freshness and naturalness of the products.
