Littlemafia's Green Beans Sour Soup

littlemafia's Note:

I'm opening a series of Romanian sour soups- ciorba- there are many many kinds but the basics are pretty much the same. Chop up the veggies and add them to the stock. Season it in the end and add noodles,sour cream or eggs, depends on what the recipe is calling for.
