Instructions
- Cut All your meats and vegetables. Then Heat a coating of oil in a heavy large pot until almost smoking. Add in the Meat, and sear until lightly browned. Then add in the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic, Stir and cook until slightly softened. Add the Potatoes, cook for a minute, and stir. Add in the beer, and cook that down until 1/2 of the beer has evaporated. Then add the broth and bring to a boil.
- Turn the temperature down and let the soup simmer about 10 to 15 minutes until the potatoes are softened, but still firm. Then add in the Sage, Thyme, Green beans, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Turn off the heat and serve immediately. If you want to make this ahead, keep the green beans out. Bring the soup to a boil and Put the beans in the bowl you will be serving in, then pour the hot broth over. This will keep the beans from turning to mush.
