When I was young, during summer, my mother would prepare a simple,
tasty dish with fresh green beans, tomatoes and potatoes.
The other day I decided to bring back to reality that old memory and
I prepared it myself in her honour!
Although a very basic soup its taste is very rich.
I'm sharing the recipe with you and hope you'll try it once!
GREEN BEANS AND POTATOES
Ingredients:
1 pound (500 g) fresh green beans
3 potatoes
2/3 tomatoes (sammarzano or small salad ones)
1 clove of garlic
1 wig of fresh origanum
3 leaves of basil

water and salt
Clean the green beans eliminating the edges and cutting them in halves.
Peel potatoes and cube them.
Slice tomatoes eliminating seeds.
Put 2/3 tablespoons olive oil in a pot with garlic and warm it up.
Add tomatoes and let them soften, after few minutes stir in green beans
and potatoes. Let them cook for few minutes.
Add enough water to cover vegetables, 1 tsb of coarse salt, wig of
origanum and bring to boil.

When potatoes and beans are very soft adjust salt, add chopped basil
leaves and remove from stove.
