Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil, or other vegetable oil such as sunflower
1 teaspoon garam masala
1 medium onion, roughly but quite finely diced
2 celery ribs, with leaves, cleaned and roughly chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and diced
8 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced
500 g green beans, fresh and well-washed
2 potatoes, peeled and diced
1 liter boiling water
2 teaspoons white pepper
2 teaspoons salt
4 tablespoons coriander leaves, finely chopped
2 cups milk

1
Heat the oil and masala and onion in a heavy-bottomed saucepan or pot over medium heat, and stir with a wooden spoon for a few minutes.
2
Add celery, carrot and garlic, stirring for another 8 minutes or so.
3
Add green beans, topped-and-tailed and roughly chopped into approximately 2cm or 1 inch pieces, diced potatoes, boiling water, white pepper, salt and coriander; half-cover with a lid and simmer for about 40 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon now and then.
4
With a hand blender puree the soup, using a pulsing action, until you have an almost smooth soup.
5
The potato will have thickened the bean soup by now; and the soup will be green and slightly textured.
6
Add milk, using less or more milk to create the consistency you want, and simmer on low heat for another few minutes.
