Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup yellow beans, cooked
- 2 potatoes, diced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth
- 1 cup coconut milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare all ingredients by washing and chopping potatoes into small, uniform cubes, finely dicing the onion, and mincing the garlic cloves.
- In a large soup pot, heat a small amount of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Add minced garlic to the onions and cook for an additional 30-45 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning and release aromatic flavors.
- Pour in vegetable broth and add diced potatoes. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes until potatoes are tender but not falling apart.
- Add cooked yellow beans to the pot and continue simmering for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to meld together.
- Use an immersion blender to partially puree the soup, leaving some potato and bean chunks for texture. Alternatively, carefully transfer half the soup to a blender and pulse before returning to the pot.
- Stir in coconut milk, creating a creamy consistency. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting seasoning as needed.
- Allow soup to simmer for an additional 3-5 minutes to heat through and blend flavors completely.
- Serve hot, optionally garnishing with fresh herbs like chives or parsley, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Tips
- Choose fresh, high-quality yellow beans for the best flavor and texture.
- Cut potatoes into uniform cubes to ensure even cooking.
- Don't rush the sautéing of onions and garlic—this builds a rich flavor foundation.
- Use an immersion blender for easy, mess-free soup pureeing.
- For extra creaminess, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Taste and adjust seasoning gradually to achieve the perfect balance.
- For a protein boost, consider adding diced chicken or tofu.
- Garnish with fresh herbs just before serving to add a bright, fresh note.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days and often taste even better the next day!
