Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 minced garlic cloves
- 400 grams green beans
- 1 large, peeled and diced potato
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup, grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons (or to taste) salt
- 0.25 teaspoons (or to taste) black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Add the green beans and diced potato to the pot. Stir to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil.
Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and cook for 20 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Remove the pot from the heat and let the soup cool slightly.
Using an immersion blender, puree the soup until smooth. Alternatively, transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend carefully, ensuring the lid is slightly ajar to allow steam to escape.
Return the soup to the pot and stir in the milk and grated Parmesan cheese.
Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Warm the soup over low heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through but not boiling.
Serve the soup hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
