What Is Zupa Z Zielonej Fasolki?
String beans bring back memories of summer and helping babcia to clean and chop the beans for the soup. Easy to make for a quick meal, it was filling yet light.
Zupa Z Zielonej Fasolki is a Polish green bean soup that’s heartwarming and filling at the same time. Made with fresh or frozen green beans, this European vegetarian soup is popular in summer but can be eaten in winter too.
We made this gluten-free green bean soup with leftover rosol stock, but if it’s made with vegetable broth, this soup is vegetarian too!
And to make it vegan for my friends, we simply replace the cream with coconut milk and the butter with vegan butter.
The Zupa Z Zielonej Fasolki is a real delight!
How To Make Polish Green Bean Soup
If you have chicken rosol broth at home, use that to make this soup. If not, you can use store-bought broth.
Start by cutting the washed leeks into half-moons and frying them with butter.
Cut the green beans into halves or smaller pieces. Dice peeled carrots and potatoes. Add all these veggies including the leek half-moons to the broth and cook till soft.
After turning off the heat, allow the soup to cool for five minutes before slowly stirring in the sour cream.
Season with salt and pepper, and top with chopped parsley before serving.
