== Quicker version ==
It will take a little time to slice the fresh string beans in very thin (straight-across) slices. As an adaptation and for the sake of speed, here's the fast modern version of this lovely soup:.
# Combine potato flakes, onion powder, boiling water and tomato sauce.
# No puréeing is necessary.
# Add Italian beans to the mixture above.
# Simmer until beans are done.
# Serve in bowls or large soup plates.
