Bohnensuppe mit Buttermilch
German Green Bean and Buttermilk Soup

Directions:

Prep your ingredients first

Grate the ginger

Stem and cut the beans into bite sized pieces

Peel and cut the potatoes roughly into chunks. If the potatoes are light skinned you can leave
the peel on if you want. Put your stock into the pan and you are ready. Not shown is the
chopped onions if desired and the chopped dill.

Cook the potatoes and ginger in the stock till tender. If want to add onions you can add them now.

When the potatoes are done lift them out into a food processor or blender and puree till
very smooth and silky texture.

Here is the potato puree. It is light, smooth, glossy, and clings to the spatula.

Cook the green beans in the same stock as the potatoes until tender.
Blend in the potato puree and cook 5 more minutes for flavors to develop.
Stir in the buttermilk and chopped dill. Check for seasoning then add salt, pepper or hot sauce.

Top with a little paprika and dill sprig in the bowl.
