Konnie's Potato and Green Bean Soup

This is the soup mentioned in Emily's potato soup. This is a family favorite. So much so, that once I was married and on my own, I would call dad every so often to walk me through this recipe. I didn't give specific amounts for anything but the bouillon cubes.

Ingredients:
Potatoes, peeled and cubed (russet, Yukon or red all work. I prefer red or Yukon)
Green beans, canned (drained) or fresh
2-4 Chicken bouillon cubes
1-2 Beef bouillon cubes
Onion
Water
Salt
Pepper
Bacon
Margarine or butter

Directions:

1. Fill a large pot with enough to cover (and a bit more) potatoes and onions. Add bouillon cubes (I usually add 2-3 chicken and 1 beef).
2. Add bacon (I leave this whole as I don't eat it in the end product, but you can cut up for eating).
3. Cook until potatoes are almost done and add green beans and cook to heat through/cook. Salt and pepper to taste. At the very end, add a drop of margarine and melt.

Note: I usually use 5-6 Red potatoes, 1/2-1 lbs of green beans or two cans, 2 strips of bacon, 1 medium onion, and a spoonful of country crock. I love lots of black pepper in this, and rarely add salt due to the bouillon cubes.  I always have left overs!!
Note: unfortunately this does not freeze well.

Mom and Dad will have to add their comments on how they make it.
