Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Place the bacon in a large sauté pan over low heat, and cook just until the bacon begins to color and the fat starts to render. Stir in the dried corn, shell beans, fresh corn kernels, green beans, wax beans and garlic, and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Add the tomato, stock and herbs. Simmer a minute or two, and season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat, and stir in the butter. Serve at once.
