This is one of my new, favorite creations. I had a bunch of green beans needing to be used up quickly. It is so simple and absolutely delicious. Enjoy!
Coconut Cream, Fresh Green Bean Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 cups hot water or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup Coconut Cream Concentrate
- 1 1/2–2 pounds fresh green beans, stems removed
- salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
In a medium saucepan, mix hot water/broth with Coconut Cream Concentrate.
Steam green beans just until bright green.
Place all ingredients into a blender and purée until smooth.
Season to taste (see variations) and heat or chill.
Serve warm or chilled.
Variations:

This also makes a nice dressing for your favorite salad, a sauce, dip, or gravy for veggies or veggie burgers.
