Time 45m

Yield Six servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch cubes
Kosher salt
6 cups water
1 pound green beans, trimmed, cut on the slant into 2-inch lengths
6 tablespoons olive oil
6 large cloves garlic, thinly sliced
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Place the potatoes, one tablespoon of salt and the water in a large saucepan over medium-high heat, cover and bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are nearly soft through, about 15 minutes. Add the green beans and cook, uncovered, until they start to turn tender and lose their bright green color, about 15 minutes.
  • While the beans and potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, add the sliced garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown, about five to eight minutes. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • When the beans and potatoes are cooked, add the garlic and olive oil to the soup and stir. Season to taste with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve immediately.

Remember, the liquid will continue to thicken as it cooks. Serve with hot sourdough bread.

Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use homemade chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
  • If you don't have any fresh green beans, you can use frozen green beans instead.
  • If you want a thicker soup, you can add a cornstarch slurry (equal parts cornstarch and water) to the soup and simmer until thickened.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs, such as parsley or chives, before serving.

Basque potato and green bean soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is also very affordable. If you are looking for a new soup recipe to try, I highly recommend this one.
