Ingredients
  

  • 4 ounces bacon chopped into small pieces
  • ½ cup onions small diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken stock
  • 12 ounces green beans fresh or frozen
  • 1 pound red potatoes cut into bite sized pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

Instructions
 

  • In a large pot or dutch oven over medium heat sauté the onions and bacon until the onions are tender. Add in the garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
  • Now add the chicken stock, green beans, potatoes, and seasonings. Bring to a boil, then cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 25–30 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Cut potatoes into even pieces so they cook evenly.
  • Don’t skip sautéing the onions and garlic—it builds the foundation for a great broth.
