Bachelor Soup

This wasn't originally called Bachelor Soup, but it was unanimously renamed at my last party, for two reasons. No... three reasons.

1) The ingredients are ridiculously cheap. You can make a big kettle for just $8.00.
2) It's so easy, a man can make it. In fact, it was a man who originally taught me to make it.

... and the final nail in the coffin...

3) It makes a fabulous post-party hangover breakfast, lunch AND dinner.
        Truly. It does.

The ingredients are simple. There are no measurements. Eyeball it.

Yes, that is a Styrofoam bowl and plastic spoon. Bachelor-chic.

Bachelor Soup

You will need:
Kielbasa
Potatoes
Green beans

That's it. Use standard potatoes, red ones, big ones, little ones... doesn't matter.

Use fresh green beans, frozen, canned... still doesn't matter. Personally, I prefer French cut frozen, but that's just me.

Chop up the kielbasa into bite-size pieces. Put it in a big pot.
Chop up the potatoes into bite-size pieces. Put it in the big pot.
Chop up the green beans into... you get the picture.

Add water to cover.
Salt.
Pepper.
Get fancy and throw in a bay leaf or something.
Maybe some more pepper.

Heat on medium for a long time until the potatoes are all soft and the fats and salt renders from the meat.

Eat it.

PS- the longer it cooks, or the more times you re-heat it, the thicker and yummier it becomes.

Really, that's it. It's so stupidly simple, but amazingly delicious. The party people loved it, and it was a godsend the next morning for those of us who went a tad overboard with the jello shots.
