GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SOUP



Green Bean and Potato Soup image

When my DH and I were first married I made this for him. He thought this was the most VILE tasting stuff he had ever had, and I was to NEVER make it again!. I was so suprised our marriage wasn't annuled. As you can see-I did make it again (nearly 20 years later), but only so I can enjoy it, and post it here. My DH smirked at me and did some eye rolling when he saw me preparing this, and knew that I wouldn't dare pack it in his thermos. As a child I grew up on a farm-every animal imaginable, 17 acres or so of blueberries(child labor), and of course a huge vegetable garden(more child labor). My mother being the thrifty sort thought this up and we had this frequently. Cheap meal for 6 children. One of those 'Back to the Basics' recipes. No measuring is really required. This is at its Absolute BEST with fresh green beans, and beautiful squeaky new potatoes(with the skins left on). Of course this can be made with canned or frozen green beans, or canned potatoes. Easily made for 1 or 2 or for potlucks.

CREAM OF GREEN BEAN SOUP



Cream of Green Bean Soup image

I was so surprised when I found this recipe. It's made with fresh green beans, and uses potatoes to thicken it instead of flour or cornstarch. I especially like the tarragon in this soup. If it gets too thick, use the larger amount of whipping cream. To save calories, I like to use fat-free half and half. This was in a box of my mother's clipped recipes. I don't know where she clipped it from....looked like magazine paper to me.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h12m

Yield 7 cups

Number Of Ingredients 11

6 green onions, sliced
6 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken broth
2 lbs fresh green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2-1 cup whipped cream or 1/2-1 cup half & half light cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Saute the green onions, shallot and garlic in the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Set aside.
  • Cook the diced potatoes in boiling water to cover for 15 minutes, or until tender (depends on how small you diced them); drain well, and set aside.
  • Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan; add green beans, and cook 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Add the reserved green onions and potato; stir well.
  • Transfer half of the green bean mixture to the container of an electric blender; cover and process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides. Repeat the procedure with the remaining green bean mixture. (Sometimes I like to use my immersion blender, leaving some of the pieces whole). Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; stir in whipping cream or half and half, lemon juice, and tarragon. Cook until thoroughly heated. Serve, and sprinkle with black pepper.

GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SOUP



Green Bean and Potato Soup image

To make this vegetarian, use vegie broth instead of chicken. From Crescent Dragonwagon. Based on a cold Hungarian soup, but this one is served hot. The green beans need to be cut into very thin pieces. Don't add the cornstarch-yogurt mixture until just before serving. Good with a crusty "peasant" type bread.

Categories     Potato

Time 1h5m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces fresh green beans
4 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into small bite-size chunks
6 cups chicken stock (good quality-or vegetable broth)
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 teaspoon caraway seed
salt & fresh ground pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced (with some leaves if possible)
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika (good quality and fresh)
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Cut green beans into 1/4-inch slices crosswise.
  • Spray a large soup pot with nonstick cooking spray. Put in green beans, potatoes, stock, vinegar, honey, garlic, caraway, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add celery and saute another 3 minutes. Lower heat slightly and sprinkle paprika over mixture. Cook another minute, stirring constantly.
  • Scrape onion mixture into green bean pot and add a little water to skillet to deglaze it. Add this to soup pot. Take soup pot off of heat.
  • When ready to serve, have soup very hot. Disolve the cornstarch in the water, making a paste and stir the paste into the yogurt.
  • Whisk a ladleful of the hot stock into the yogurt. Turn down heat to low and stir cornstarch mixture into the hot soup. Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until soup has thickened slightly.
  • Check for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper if needed, and adjust sweet/sour ratio by adding more vinegar or honey as needed.
