Saarland recipe like mother’s

Trim the ends of the beans and cut into 1-2 cm pieces, then wash thoroughly. Peel and dice the potatoes. Wash the carrots, leeks, and celery and chop them in a blender. Bring 3 liters of water to a boil. Add the vegetable stock, beans, potatoes, leeks, celery, and chopped savory and cook for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan, dice the pork belly and sauté in the pan, add the finely chopped onions and cook until translucent. Then sprinkle over the flour and mix well. Now pour the contents of the pan into the soup and simmer for another 10 minutes. Finally, add the finely chopped parsley. Season the soup with salt and pepper and, if desired, add Maggi. Once the soup is served, add a dash of cream.
