A new way to season an old classic. String beans, ham, and small red potatoes are simmered with dry vegetable soup mix. A stand-alone dinner dish or a great side for a crowd/potluck!

This is wonderful! Everyone in my family loved it including my very picky son. I used ingredients I already had. Frozen beans instead of fresh, onion soup mix instead of vegtable and then added a generous tablespoon of Herbes De Provence. Delicious! Read More

Very good. I make this type of recipe a lot in the summer time. It is a favorite of my husband and son. First time I've made it adding the vegetable soup packet and sugar. It was very good but not sure why the sugar is needed. I served this with 'Greek Veggie Salad' from AR and garlic bread with sliced tomatoes popped under the broiler. Read More

A mixture of green and yellow wax beans is always pretty esp w/the flecks of color the soup adds. Also I leave out the ham hock if there are vegetarians in the crowd. Still tastes great! Read More

I made this exactly as written including the 1 Tablespoon of black pepper. I believe that might be a typo because it was extremely hot. I am surprised no one else mentioned the pepper. The dry soup gave it a great flavor and I will make it again but with MUCH less pepper. Read More
