Green Bean And Potato Soup

1. 1

   Cut green beans into 1/4-inch slices crosswise.

2. 2

   Spray a large soup pot with nonstick cooking spray. Put in green beans, potatoes, stock, vinegar, honey, garlic, caraway, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer until vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes.

3. 3

   Meanwhile, in a 10-inch skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add onion and saute until softened, about 4 minutes. Add celery and saute another 3 minutes. Lower heat slightly and sprinkle paprika over mixture. Cook another minute, stirring constantly.

4. 4

   Scrape onion mixture into green bean pot and add a little water to skillet to deglaze it. Add this to soup pot. Take soup pot off of heat.

5. 5

   When ready to serve, have soup very hot. Disolve the cornstarch in the water, making a paste and stir the paste into the yogurt.

6. 6

   Whisk a ladleful of the hot stock into the yogurt. Turn down heat to low and stir cornstarch mixture into the hot soup. Using a wooden spoon, stir gently until soup has thickened slightly.

7. 7

   Check for seasoning. Add more salt and pepper if needed, and adjust sweet/sour ratio by adding more vinegar or honey as needed.

8. 8

   Serve.
