Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
- 4 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (or heavy cream)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the green beans thoroughly under cold water and trim off the ends.
Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.
Add the trimmed green beans and vegetable broth to the pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender.
Remove the pot from heat and let it cool slightly. Use an immersion blender to puree the soup directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, carefully transfer the soup in batches to a countertop blender and blend until smooth, then return it to the pot.
Stir in the coconut milk (or heavy cream), lemon juice, salt, and ground black pepper. Heat the soup over low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm and enjoy your Quick Pureed Green Bean Soup with crusty bread or a light salad.
