Romanian Green Bean Soup with Paprika

"There are many things I admire about my Romanian grandfather, but what strikes me most is his passion for cooking and baking. He is over 80 years old, yet no day goes by without him cooking up a storm. When I visited him this year in the summer, he cooked a green bean soup for us that was light, delicious and full of paprika flavor. I asked him for the recipe, eager to write it down and to recreate the dish once back home in Germany."
