Ok, might be same thing then.  There are quite a few types.

Not sure.  You usually just buy a portion of such foods, not the whole thing. 
I'll have to do a little foodie picture serach and see if i see what it is.

Yummy too <g>.  Ohh, its green bean season!  I ran out today for a bit and got
a big batch for Terrance and us.  I blanched them up fast and froze 4 lbs
worth then made some 'green bean soup'.

      Title: Xxcarol's Greenie Beanie soup
 Categories: Xxcarol, Soups
      Yield: 12 Servings
 
      1 lb Washed fresh green beans
      1 c  Cubed potato, waxy type
      6 c  Chicken stock
      1 c  Chopped carrots
    1/4 c  Garlic cloves, whole
    1/4 c  Chopped purple onion
      3 tb Butter
      1 ts Chinese 5 spice
 
  Greenie Beanie soup is a fun name for an old version of a vegetable
  soup, spiced up just a bit with chinese 5 spice.  It will taste
  'sweet' and comes with stovetop or crockpot directions.
  
  Put all but the green beans in the crockpot or stove top stock pot and
  cook until the carrots and potatoes are fork tender.  This will take 6
  hours in a crockpot and about 1 on the stove. Add the green beans,
  cutting them to 2 inch long bits and either crockpot cook another 1
  hour or finish on the stove for 15 mins at a low simmer.
  
  Optionally you may want to puree the soup just before adding the green
  beans.  Dont be worried about the amount of garlic.  It will cook
  down and be mild but you can use less if you want to just add 3-4
  cloves. (stovetop cookers should probably use less).
  
  If you do not have chinese 5 spice, don't worry.  Use a little nutmeg
  and pumpkin pie spice in it's place. To make the larger batch work in
  a smaller house, make it all the way up to the addition of the green
  beans then freeze the excess and make up just the number of cups you
  need.
  
  This makes a perfect accompany soup to a dinner of roasted pork and a
  thickly chewy crusty bread.  It also makes a nice light lunch with
  just the bread.
  
  If you home-make your chicken stock, it may be cose to sodium free but
  otherwise check the can if on a sodium reduction.  The rest is
  nominal on that and it's diabetic acceptable as well.
