Green Bean Dill Soup Recipes

DILL SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot over medium heat, and add the onion and leeks. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about three minutes, and add 1/2 teaspoon salt, the carrot and the celery. Cook, stirring, for five minutes, and add the garlic. Stir together for about a minute, until fragrant, and add the potatoes, water, salt and the bouquet garni. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for one hour. Remove the bouquet garni.
• Puree the soup in an immersion blender, or blend 1 1/2 cups at a time in a blender, covering the top tightly with a towel to avoid splashes. If you want a smoother consistency, put the soup through a medium strainer.
• Stir together the yogurt, cornstarch and dill, and stir into the soup. Heat through. Add a generous amount of freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Serve hot, garnished with garlic croutons and small dill sprigs; or chill and serve cold, garnished with a dollop of yogurt, thinly sliced cucumbers and small dill sprigs.

GREEN STRING BEAN SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Rinse the beans, discard the ends and snap them in half or smaller pieces to your liking.
• If desired you can steam the beans in advance. Prepare a double boiler with 2 inches of water in the bottom pot. Bring to a simmer and then place the green string beans in the top basket. Cover with a lid and steam for 10 to 15 minutes or until desired tenderness is achieved. Check after 10 minutes to make sure you don't overcook the beans. Remove from the steam and transfer to a bowl. Rinse with ice cold water to stop the cooking process at this point. Refrigerate until ready to use. (Alternatively you can use the 1- pot method below but take good care not to overcook them).
