Creamy green bean soup –Today, I want to share my love for making soups, especially a delicious German Green Bean Soup. This comforting dish is not only hearty and flavorful but also easy to prepare. Let’s dive into this wonderful recipe!
German Green Bean Soup
This soup is a true delight, combining the freshness of green beans with creamy goodness. It’s perfect for a chilly evening or when you want to impress your guests with a unique flavor profile.
Ingredients
- 400 grams green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and sauté until they become translucent.
- Next, add the green beans to the pot and stir for a couple of minutes to combine the flavors.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth, bringing the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer until the beans are tender, about 10-15 minutes.
- After the beans are cooked, use an immersion blender to purée the soup until smooth. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the soup in batches to a regular blender.
- Once blended, return the soup to the pot and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added touch.
This German Green Bean Soup is not only delicious but also an excellent way to enjoy nutritious ingredients. It pairs wonderfully with crusty bread or a light salad. Enjoy every spoonful of this creamy goodness!
