Easy and delicious, this one-pot Tomato Green Bean Soup comes together without much fuss and uses simple ingredients. Fresh green beans, ripe tomatoes, carrots, onions, garlic, and fresh basil combine to create a fragrant bowl of soup that is both brothy and satisfying. Serve with crusty bread for a cozy summer dinner.
Start out by sautéing the onions and carrots in some butter, then add the garlic and green beans. Cook until the garlic is fragrant and the beans are bright green. Next, add the chicken broth. If you want to keep the recipe vegetarian, substitute vegetable broth for the chicken broth. Let simmer until the beans are tender, about 20 minutes. Finally, stir in the tomatoes. I flavored the soup with fresh basil, but feel free to use any fresh herbs you prefer. This soup is perfectly light and summery but still satisfying.
To make the Tomato Green Bean Soup, you will need the following ingredients:
In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, melt 2 teaspoons butter. Add 1 cup chopped onions and 1 cup chopped carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Stir in 1 pound chopped fresh green beans and 1 minced garlic clove and cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes.
Add 6 cups chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for about 20 minutes or until the beans are tender.
Stir in 3 cups diced tomatoes, ¼ cup minced fresh basil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Bring back to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes.
Serve with crusty bread, a simple sandwich or an easy salad. Enjoy!
