3. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Add the potatoes, green beans, chicken broth, salt, pepper, paprika, and thyme.
5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20–25 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and the green beans are soft.
6. Stir in the butter and return the cooked bacon to the pot.
7. Simmer uncovered for another 5 minutes to let the flavors come together.
8. Taste and adjust the seasoning before serving.
