Recipe Instructions

Step 1
Cook bacon in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Crumble and set aside.
Step 2
Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Stir in chopped onion and whole garlic clove. Cook and stir until garlic has softened and onions begin to turn golden-brown, about 8 minutes. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl; remove garlic clove, mash, and return to onions. Place green beans, wax beans, and carrots into the saucepan. Pour in chicken broth and enough water to just cover the vegetables; season with salt. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15 minutes.
Step 3
After beans have simmered for 15 minutes, stir in new potatoes and cook until tender, about 30 minutes more. Stir in garlic, onions, 1/4 cup butter, and cream; return to a simmer. Dissolve flour in 1/2 cup water and stir into the soup. Cook and stir until the soup has thickened, 10 to 15 minutes. Serve with crumbled bacon.
