Bouneschlupp, a traditional Luxembourgish soup, is a hearty and flavorful dish that is sure to warm you up on a cold day. This classic soup is made with green beans, potatoes, carrots, onions, and bacon, and is often served with rye bread or dumplings. The flavors of the vegetables, bacon, and herbs come together to create a rich and satisfying soup that is perfect for a casual meal or a special occasion. In this article, we will provide two variations of the Bouneschlupp recipe: a classic version and a vegetarian version. The classic version includes bacon, while the vegetarian version replaces the bacon with smoked tofu. Both versions are equally delicious and offer a unique take on this classic Luxembourgish dish.

BOUNESCHLUPP (GREEN BEAN SOUP FROM LUXEMBOURG)
This hearty bean soup is typical for the regions of Luxembourg and Lorraine. There is no category "Benelux", so I placed the recipe under "German" recipes because the cuisines of Luxembourg and Lorraine are close to the bordering German cuisines. The smoked bacon which is used should be dry.
