Green beans in buttermilk

Ingredients for 2 servings:

• 6 large potatoes
• 1 jar beans (fine green beans)
• ½ liter buttermilk
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 tbsp flour
• Salt
• some butter
• savory
• n. B. water

Instructions

Working time approx. 30 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cut the potatoes into small cubes, place them in a pot, cover them with water, season with salt, and simmer until almost tender. Meanwhile, mix the flour with a little buttermilk until smooth, then add the remaining buttermilk and sour cream. Drain the green beans (reserving the water) and add them to the potatoes (do not drain the potato water!). Then pour the mixed liquid over them, stir everything together, and slowly bring to a boil. Simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the liquid from sticking. Finally, season with salt and add savory to taste. Now melt a small knob of butter in the soup while it is no longer boiling. If the soup is too creamy, you can thin it out with the reserved bean water. You can also omit the green beans and make a buttermilk potato soup. The soup tastes best when it has rested for about 15 minutes after cooking and is no longer quite so hot.
