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.

Provided by breezermom

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.

A very healthy and tasty soup or vegetable side dish high in protein, fiber, and nutrients. Despite any reservations you might have (as I did!), you will like this dish.

AUNTIE'S GREEN BEAN SOUP



Auntie's Green Bean Soup image

Provided by Food Network

Time 3h5m

Yield 15 to 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 bone-in shank ham
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
5 eggs
2 ounces ham base
Two 15-ounce cans green beans
1 quart cubed russet potatoes
One 12-ounce can evaporated milk
1 cup sour cream
3 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder, or to taste

Steps:

  • For the ham starter: Trim meat off the bone. Place meat and bone in a pressure cooker and cover with water. Pressure cook for 45 minutes. Release pressure, then clean and chop meat and strain broth. This can be divided into 4 portions of starter. Freeze 3 of the portions for future use and set the remaining portion aside.
  • For the glace: Put flour and salt in food processor. While it's running, stream in the eggs. Mix thoroughly. Put bench flour on a table, then dump dough out and knead to combine. Let rest 20 minutes. Flour table again and roll to about 1/4-inch thick, then cut into small squares with a pizza cutter. Make sure there's enough flour so the dumplings don't stick together. Rough them up in your hands to make them rustic looking. Put into a dry strainer and shake off excess flour.
  • For the soup: Combine the reserved ham starter, ham base, green beans and their juice and potatoes in a pot. Add water to fill about three-quarters of the way. Bring it all to a boil. Add the glace directly to the pot and cook until they float.
  • Combine the evaporated milk, sour cream and heavy cream in a separate bowl. Add some hot broth and whisk until completely smooth. Add the tempered cream mixture to the soup. Add salt, pepper and garlic powder to taste. Let simmer together for 45 minutes.

HUNGARIAN GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SOUP



Hungarian Green Bean and Potato Soup image

A Crescent Dragonwagon recipe, a delicious sweet and sour soup, don't omit a thing, as all the flavors meld into an incredible dish. Cutting the beans into very thin diagonal slices is important; if you have a food processor, stand them up in the feed tube and use the slicing disk. Make sure your paprika is fresh for best flavor. For a much richer version, use up to a cup of creme fraiche or sour cream instead of the Yogurt. Creme fraiche will not require the cornstarch mixture as a stabilizer. I like to add a bit of Spanish smoked paprika, but it isn't necessary. A full-flavored stock is essential. I streamline her directions when I make this by sauteeing the onion, celery, and garlic in the soup pot, then adding the other ingredients and cooking it. I see no reason to clean two pans if I can clean just one!

Categories     Potato

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
12 ounces fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into quarter-inch slices
4 small potatoes, diced
6 cups chicken stock or 6 cups vegetable stock
3 tablespoons cider vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
3 garlic cloves, pressed
1/2-1 teaspoon caraway seed
salt, to taste
pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 large onion, diced
2 celery ribs, diced (use leaves, too)
2 tablespoons sweet Hungarian paprika
3 tablespoons cornstarch
3 tablespoons water
3/4 cup plain yogurt

Steps:

  • Spray a large soup pot with cooking spray, put in it the beans, potatoes, stock, vinegar, honey, caraway seeds, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until the vegetables are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a ten-inch skillet. Add the onion and saute until soft, about 4 minutes. Add the celery, saute another 2 to 3 minutes. Lower the heat slightly, and sprinkle the vegetables with the paprika. Let the mixture cook a minute, stirring constantly. Scrape the sauteed vegetables into the soup pot. Add a little soup liquid to the skillet and deglaze it, then scrape the pan contents into the soup pot. Remove the soup pot from the heat.
  • When ready to serve, have the soup good and hot. Dissolve the cornstarch in the water and mix it to make a smooth paste, using your fingers if necessary. Stir this paste into the yogurt. Whisk a ladle of the hot bean stock into the yogurt-cornstarch mixture. Turn down the heat under the soup as low as possible, and stir the cornstarch-stabilized yogurt into the very hot soup.Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until the soup has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings (including honey and vinegar), if necessary, and to be sure there is no raw cornstarch taste. Serve hot with a rustic bread.

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.

GREEN BEAN DUMPLING SOUP



Green Bean Dumpling Soup image

Posted in response to a request for a soup popular in Kansas. The recipe was found in a Colorado paper, but by a Kansas chef. I have not made this, see notes below for additional comments. Prep time is estimated.

Provided by duonyte

Categories     Potato

Time 1h10m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 cups cubed potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil
43 ounces chicken stock or 43 ounces vegetable broth
2 cups green beans
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 tablespoon flour
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine
24 ounces half-and-half or 24 ounces cream
dumplings
2 eggs
1 cup flour
milk

Steps:

  • In a large soup kettle, saute potatoes in oil for about 10 minutes, stirring often. Add stock and beans and cook until tender.
  • In a saucepan, melt the butter or margarine and saute the onion and garlic until translucent. Add the flour and cook for three minutes longer. With a whisk, stir in the milk and keep whisking until the mixture is thickened. Set aside.
  • While the soup is simmering, prepare the dumplings. Blend the flour and the egg. Add milk until a thick, doughy mixture is made. You can add salt to taste. Drop the dumplings by a teaspoon into the boiling broth. Whisk the milk and flour mixture into the soup. Add milk or cream as needed to adjust the consistency.
  • Note: The measurements are rather inexact. My own thought is that you probably need 3 tbsp butter and 3 tbsp flour in the roux to make a thickener that would thicken this amount of liquid adequately. The forum poster found the soup too thin. The dumplings were described as tasty, but heavy, and you might want to substitute your own favorite recipe.

SOUTHERN GREEN BEAN DUMPLING SOUP



Southern Green Bean Dumpling Soup image

My son & daughter-in-law raved about this German soup but it just didn't sound like something I would like. One evening my little granddaughter asked my husband and I to stay for dinner and we accepted without knowing what was cooking. Needeless to say, we had our first taste of the infamous Greenbean Dumpling Soup ....and fell in love with it! I prefer my dumplings more like spaetzle than the regular biscuit type-dumplings. Also, either French-cut or regular green beans can be used. I do not use the roue - I thicken in the soup liquid. Be aware that it does make a lot, so adjustments for serving size may be needed.

HAM AND STRING/GREEN BEAN SOUP



Ham and String/Green Bean Soup image

This is a fantastic way to use up the leftover holiday ham or the bountiful crop of string beans from the garden. It is easy to prepare and smells wonderful while it simmers away on the stove. The soup has a slightly thickened broth that is very silky and just makes it even more comforting. A loaf of crusty bread is all that is needed to fill this meal out.

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb ham, cubed
1 medium onion, diced
2 cups carrots, sliced
1/2 cup celery, diced
5 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
1 1/2 lbs fresh string beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
water or chicken stock
salt
pepper
4 tablespoons butter, softened
5 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Place the ham in large pot and fill pot about half way with either water or chicken stock, add onion, and celery and cover. Bring to a boil and turn down to simmer for about 30 minutes to an hour. (If ham is on the bone let it simmer for about 90 minutes or until the ham starts to fall off the bone before proceeding.).
  • Add carrots, potatoes, and string beans to pot and continue simmering for about 30 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste.
  • If using a ham bone remove ham from bone while the veggies are cooking and discard the bone.
  • When potatoes are done mix butter and flour to form paste, slowly add to pot to slightly thicken broth. (You don't want it gravy thick but to have a little body so more or less of the mixture might be needed depending on how much broth there is.).

SAUSAGE, GREEN BEAN AND POTATO SOUP



Sausage, Green Bean and Potato Soup image

I received this in a email from Whole Foods Market. This is a great, simple soup that is very quick to make. Makes an easy weeknight dinner that is hearty and delicious. I used Aidells portobello mushroom sausage when I made this. I also use Herbamare seasoning instead of salt and pepper.

3 medium yukon gold potatoes
12 ounces kielbasa or 12 ounces cooked chicken sausage
16 ounces frozen green beans
4 cups chicken stock
2 bay leaves
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Scrub potatoes well and cut into 1 inch chunks.

  • Stir well and bring slowly to a boil.
  • Reduce, heat and simmer about 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender.
  • Remove bay leaves before serving.
  • This is great with a nice salad and a piece of crusty bread.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, crisp green beans: Look for beans that are bright green and snap easily when you bend them.
  • Trim the green beans before cooking: Remove the ends of the beans and any tough strings.
  • Cook the green beans until they are tender but still have a slight crunch: Overcooked green beans will be mushy.
  • Season the soup to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
  • Garnish the soup with fresh herbs or croutons before serving: This will add a pop of flavor and color.
