Dairy Free

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!

2 cups hot water or chicken broth
1/2 cup coconut cream concentrate
1 1/2 -2 pounds fresh green beans, stems removed
Salt & pepper to taste

1. In a medium saucepan, mix hot water/broth with coconut cream concentrate.

2. Steam green bean just until bright green.

3. Place all ingredients into a blender and purée until smooth.

4. Season to taste (see variations) and heat or chill.

5. Serve warm or chilled.

Variations:

Adjust the water/broth as desired.
Add your favorite snippets of herbs or spices.
Use broccoli in replace of green beans.

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

thank you Sarah for responding. Yes the green beans are steamed in plain hot water.

The green beans are steamed with plain hot water, however much you think is needed. The coconut cream mixture is the soup base so once you mix it up just set it aside. :)

Are the green beans cooked in the broth/coconut mixture or are they cooked separately?  The instructions weren’t clear.
