QUICK PUREED GREEN BEAN SOUP

Quick Pureed Green Bean Soup image

Our family has known for decades, that if you have a canker(mouth)sore, you eat 1/2 can of green beans and the canker will be gone the following day. A prescribed medication, recently, rendered my mouth full of cankers and too sore to even chew canned green beans. DIL suggested putting the canned green beans in my Bullet blender (best invention in years).My thought was, baby food. Okay! DH suggested soup! Thus this tasty recipe was born only an hour ago. I am waiting to see what the Zaar-ist comunity will add to it. Tabasco? Bacon? A grilled cheese sandwich? I dedicate this recipe to my DIL, Shar.

QUICK, EASY, AWESOME GREEN BEAN SOUP

I think this is the only recipe I actually made out of some low-cal cookbook I bought. This is NOT a recipe for frozen or canned beans, use fresh and using enough garlic is the key. I usually use about 12 - 15 cloves. Like the title says, it's really quick, easy and awesome...I think it's also healthy!! Healthy is not one of my favorite cooking terms, so if it's healthy and I like it, you know it's good!!
