Catalan cream soup made of beans and potatoes
A thick, nourishing, bright, and healthy soup created from just a few budget-friendly ingredients. Beans in this recipe add an interesting note to the first course, making it incredibly hearty and original. It is recommended to use pre-cooked beans for the preparation. For this, it is advisable to soak them for at least 6-8 hours. This way, the beans will cook faster and easier. Just 40-50 minutes – and the grains will be ready for further processing and use.
For the bean and potato cream soup, you can use beans of any size and color. The main thing is that they are whole, of good quality, not damaged by insects, and of good taste. If you do not have such grains available, you can replace them with any kind of plain beans, regardless of variety and size. This way, you will get no less nutritious and filling soup made from budget, readily available products.
To enrich the flavor of the finished bean puree, you can add any spices and seasonings to the bowl with the soup. A pinch of turmeric, purple basil, dried chili, or smoked paprika will make this dish incredibly spicy and unique.
