Quick Green Flageolet Bean Soup
In France, «flageolet» (pr. flah-joh-LAY) beans are often served with lamb. I always keep one can of this small creamy bean in my pantry to be able to fix myself a tasty soup in no time.
Ingredients
Before you start
A blender or food processor will be very useful to purée the soup.
Method
- Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the finely chopped shallot and sauté 2-3 min until translucent, taking care not to let it burn.
- Drain and rinse the flageolet beans, then add them to the saucepan. Stir in the curry powder and broth. Bring to a boil, cover, and cook 2-3 min. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Purée the soup in a blender, then ladle it into bowls and serve. If desired, garnish each bowl with a dollop of cream.
