Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

1. Cook the chopped bacon in a large pot over medium heat for about 6 minutes, until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and leave the drippings in the pot.

2. Add the butter and chopped red onion to the drippings and cook over medium heat for 4 minutes, until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

3. Add the diced potatoes, snapped green beans, and chicken broth. Add a splash of water if the pot looks dry. Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for 12 to 15 minutes, until the potatoes and beans are tender.

4. Uncover, stir in the white balsamic vinegar, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2 minutes more.

5. Return the bacon to the pot, stir to combine, and serve hot.
