Generally, to make green bean soup, you need to cook the green beans, freeze them in water, and then pour the green beans and ice cubes directly into boiling water. This will not only make it easier for the green beans to rot and grit, it will also reduce the time it takes to cook them.
The specific method is as follows:
1. Wash the green beans one night in advance, soak them in water for one hour to allow them to absorb the water, then add the water that has just submerged the surface of the green beans, and put them into the freezer layer of the refrigerator to freeze overnight, so that the green beans will freeze in water.
2. When the water boils, pour the green beans and ice cubes directly into the pot and bring to a boil over medium-low heat. There is no need to cover the pot. Add water to the boiling green bean soup and remove from the pot for 10 ~ 15 minutes.
3. Eat green bean soup after cooling naturally. It is best to refrigerate it in summer.
Is green bean soup cooked under boiling water or cold water?
Cold water.
Green beans are non-cookable legumes that take a long time to heat up and cook. They are usually placed in a pot with cold water, and then the green beans and water are allowed to warm up slowly. This way the cooked green beans will have a softer and sandier texture.
If cooked in hot water, the water may keep boiling and evaporating and the green beans may not be fully cooked. In the end, the cooked green bean soup does not taste too good and more nutrients are lost. So when cooking green bean soup, it is recommended to use cold water to cook green beans.
