Chilled Green Soybean Soup
(Serves 4)
Ingredients:
- 3 1/3 tablespoons mirin (fermented rice condiment)
- 4 cups water
- 2 tablespoons natural sea salt
- 3 cups edamame (podded green soybeans)
- 3/4 cup katsuo dashi (bonito stock – vegetable stock can be substituted but will give a different flavor)
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3 1/3 tablespoons milk
- pinch natural sea salt
- 4 sprigs chervil
Directions:
Put mirin in a saucepan and boil off the alcohol content to leave about 2 tablespoons. Cool and reserve.
Bring the water and sea salt to a boil in a large pot of water over high heat and boil soybeans for 5 minutes. Drain and plunge into a bowl of iced water. When completely cooled, drain and pat dry.
Peel the thin skin off the beans. Set 4 beans aside to garnish, then puree the remainder in a blender with the stock. Add mirin, sugar, and milk and continue to blend. Pass the mixture through a fine sieve and mash any remaining bits. Taste and add salt if necessary. Chill.
Pour chilled soup into cups and float one soybean and a sprig of chervil in each if desired for garnish.
Next: Cucumber and Avocado Soup

+ add your ownThese sound delicious. Thank you too for the non-dairy alternatives.

Sounds delicious. Soup, no matter the season, is one of my favorite foods.
Simple & sounds yummy.
These recipes look good. I've just started experimenting with cold soups and will now try the cucumber and avocado one too.
Thank you for sharing them.
I hate cucumber, but I can make gazpacho without it, and the other two seem very good, gonna try them!
I love chilled soups. I will try these recipes. Thanks.
Last night I (once again) made a gazpacho recipe from this website: www.care2.com/greenliving/golden-gazpacho.html
So easy. So good.
Perhaps if you tried cold soups, you'd like them. What have you got to lose? These are great ideas.
I've never eaten a cold soup - it just SOUNDS wrong! Perhaps if they changed the name........
