Servings: persons

6 green onions, sliced
6 shallots, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
3 tablespoons butter, melted
2 medium baking potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups chicken broth
2 lbs fresh green beans, cut into 2 inch pieces
1/2 - 1 cup whipped cream or 1/2-1 cup half & half light cream
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon pepper

1
Saute the green onions, shallot and garlic in the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring constantly, until tender. Set aside.
2
Cook the diced potatoes in boiling water to cover for 15 minutes, or until tender (depends on how small you diced them); drain well, and set aside.
3
Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a large saucepan; add green beans, and cook 30 to 35 minutes or until tender. Add the reserved green onions and potato; stir well.
4
Transfer half of the green bean mixture to the container of an electric blender; cover and process until smooth, stopping once to scrape down the sides. Repeat the procedure with the remaining green bean mixture. (Sometimes I like to use my immersion blender, leaving some of the pieces whole). Return the pureed mixture to the saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat; stir in whipping cream or half and half, lemon juice, and tarragon. Cook until thoroughly heated. Serve, and sprinkle with black pepper.
