Wax Bean Soup Recipes



jonesbub1  Mar 25, 08, 15:00    #1
Does anyone have a recipe for a hot soup using yellow wax beans and sour cream? My mom used to make this, but I never wrote down the recipe and now she's gone. Any recipes would be really appreciated (by me and my sister!)

Thanks!

My Mom made it all the time too but she didn't use apples or raisins, she used prunes. I don't have the recipe though. It's called "czarnina".

Our mom made something similar:

yellow wax beans, cleaned & cut (I prefer to cut the lengthwise and then in half)
potatoes, cubed
anything else you have in your kitchen that you want to add (ie. celery, carrots, peppers, etc)
onion
oil
dill or parsley
salt/pepper
sour cream / milk or buttermilk

In one pot cook the potatoes in salt water until just tender and add whatever other ingredients you want to add and finish cooking until all veggies are tender. Chop onion and saute in oil until tender but not brown and add to the veggie mixture. Mix and add seasoning to taste - if you prefer a spicier soup, you can use hot yellow peppers and that will spice the soup up. Let the soup cool a bit and in a bowl, mix sour cream and milk until it is a thick liquid or use some buttermilk on its own. Add the milk mixture to the soup when it's cooled a bit and add the dill or parsley (depending on if you like dill) and heat up to when ready to serve.

The measurements were never specific with my mom's recipes - they just got put together.

czernina


the polish soup you may be thinking of is not yellow wax bean. it's either grochowka (split yellow peas) or fasolowa (northern or other white beans - in poland it's called fasola ja¶)

my grandmother made a soup she called sour bean soup. I don't know the exact recipe, but she boiled a ham bone for the broth (sometimes she's chop up a ham staek for more meat in it). She added chopped potatoes & carrots ( and maybe a bit of celery). When they were tender she added canned wax beans and canned cut green beans and the sour cream. She also added some vinegar and would always put the bottle of vinegar on the table if anyone wanted to add more to the soup. It was so good!

Here is the way that we still make. It is nothing more than white borscht with vegetables added. As a kid I remember my Grandmother along with other Polish Immigrants going to farms during the depression to pick beans. At the end of the day they brought beans back. This is really Peasant food.
Recipe
Two quarts of water ( Depending on how much you want to make)
Pork chops or spare ribs or fresh sausage. Salt pepper
Onion, celery potato's and fresh beans Optional Parsley Add potatoes later
Bring to a boil and then simmer for about an hour??? Add potatos about a half hour before completion.
Mix a cup of sour cream 1/2 cup of milk, and flour to thicken.
(Zapraska) Pour into soup, Stir, add vinagar to taste. Soup will be white

Thanks to all of you for the recipes...

I am putting a recipe book together for family of my moms (deceased) recipes.

I have been obtaining a few from my remaining Aunt, (Mom never had them written down) and my Aunt remembers my Grandmother making a White Soup, with wax beans and vinegar. She mentioned that she loved the soup, however the soup was without meat stock. I will give her your recipes and she will be very happy.

I have a recipe that my late mother-in-law gave me using yellow wax beans. She called it white borscht soup.

3-4 lb smoked picnic or smoked ham shank
put in large pot and cover with water add 1 med chopped onion 2 bay leaves & chopped celery (1-2 stalks) 1 teas parsley and salt & pepper to taste. Boil till tenderness. 1 hour before ham is done cooking add 4 cubed potatoes 1 cup of wax or green beans. After potatoes are tender cool soup to room temperature and remove bay leaves and dice ham.

In a separate bowl beat 1 egg and add about 8oz of sour cream and wisk together. Slowly ladle mixture to cool soup (make sure soup is very cool otherwise it will curdle)! Slowly simmer soup until warn enough to eat. Be sure not to use high heat it will cur dell!

Enjoy!

Just made this with fresh garden beans my 18 month old grand daughter loved it!

Recipe

2 pounds of wax beans
4-5 potatoes
1/2 lb. bacon
2-3 tbsp vinegar
1 c. light cream

Wash, clean and cut wax beans into 1/2 inch pieces. Peel and dice potato. Boil together in salted water until tender. DO NOT DRAIN Cook bacon until crispy. Add flour to the bacon grease to make a roux. Stir roux continously and then add to beans and water to thicken bean/potato broth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add crumbled bacon,vinegar and cream. Stir well and simmer 1/2 hour.

This recipe is from my Mom. --not in writing-- ingredient amounts are approximate but it works GOOD LUCK

Hello all! I have a Polish recipe for "yellow bean soup", white soup with vinegar (sour cream is optional), from my mom and grandmother. Hope this one is what you're looking for. I just made some today (with fresh wax beans from the farmer's market).

3 or 4 pork neckbones *
20 oz. yellow beans
3 or 4 quarts water
2 C. carrot circles
2 C. diced potatoes
2 tsp. salt
1/3 C. vinegar (or more, if you like, to taste)
1/2 C. heavy cream **
1/2 C. flour
A little sugar, to taste (optional)

* you can use other cuts of pork
** in place of cream you can use 1 egg and a little milk

Brink neck bones and water to boil and simmer for 45 minutes. Add carrots. After 15 minutes, add yellow beans. After another 15 minutes, add potatoes. Add vinegar. In a bowl, mix the cream and flour, then add some of the hot soup to the mixture to bring up the temperature to that of the soup (otherwise you will have lumps). Add this mixture to the soup and cook for another half hour.

I added a little beef soup base because my soup came out a bit bland (I didn't use potatoes because I don't like them in soup).

Enjoy!
