At last! Edamame beans in the store. No, not yet the crisp bright green version, but edamame stored in a container with water. I should write to the manufacturer and ask for a frozen version. Still, here is my S.T.A.R. soup aka Fifteen Minute Soup, my only true contribution to these pages: soup with 3 ingredients + one star.Edamame bean soup
2 leeks, chopped (oh, always add the green parts of course)
1 onion
1 piece of root celery
the star: edamame beans
olive oil
1 bay leaf
seasoning: horsetail powder, a bit of curry, pepper, salt
1 l water
Heat olive oil, add all vegetables including the beans, braise for 10-15 minutes over low-medium heat until the root celery pieces are soft.
Mix this mixture with the hand mixer, only then add water, mix some more until silky smooth. Adjust the seasoning.
Serve with some flat parsley and out of sheer snobbery some of the beans as decoration.
