Equipment

  • 1 Pot

Ingredients

  • 4 Garlic cloves
  • 2 Onions
  • 2-3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground Turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon ground Paprika
  • 3-4 pinches of coarse Unrefined Salt
  • 1 Celery stalk with leaves
  • 2 medium-big Potatoes
  • 2 medium-big Carrots
  • 500 g Kidney Beans
  • 1 Bell Pepper
  • 2 l of Water
  • small handful of fresh Dill
  • small handful of fresh Parsley
  • 3-4 black or grey Pepper grains

Instructions

  • Begin by cleaning each bean pod, cutting (or snapping) off the tops, and splitting them in half. Aside from cooking, this is the step that requires the most time.
  • Finely chop 2 onions and 4 garlic cloves. To soften the onion, cook them in a soup casserole pot for about 10 minutes with 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil, 1 level tablespoon of turmeric, and 1 level tablespoon of paprika.
  • Peel and slice thinly two carrots, one celery branch, and two potatoes into cubes that are about 1 cm3 in size. To soften the vegetables, add them to the casserole along with a small glass of water, and cook for an additional 15 minutes (covered with a lid).
  • Potatoes and carrots, chopped, for a green bean soup.
  • One bell pepper should be seed-free and chopped in half before being added to the dish along with 2 liters of water, 500 grams of green beans, three to four pepper grains, dill, and parsley.
  • Everything should be combined and cooked for around 30-35 minutes at medium-low heat. If you prefer your bean pods tender and well-cooked, simmer them for 45 to 50 minutes.
  • Before serving the green bean soup with fresh parsley on top, let it cool down a little.
