The green bean soup can be cooked at any time during the year. Both in summer when you find fresh green beans, and in winter when we can use frozen beans. I will show you the version with frozen green beans, cooked in Hungarian style. With paprika and with a little thickening, as we like the soup to be a little more consistent.

If you have frozen green beans at home, you can also try a salad recipe such as green bean salad with garlic, a wonderful dish.

Starting With Ingredients

The basic ingredient in this recipe is, of course, green beans. I will use a kilogram of frozen green beans, enough for five to six large portions.

Frozen Green Beans

Because it is frozen, I will use green beans as such. But if you have fresh green beans, it is good to break them into smaller pieces. They look better on the plate.

I need a can of chopped tomatoes, which can also be replaced with fresh tomatoes. But only if it is their season and they are ripe and flavourful.

Canned Chopped Tomatoes

The rest of the ingredients are a little vegetable oil, two tablespoons of wheat flour and a few spices for seasoning.

How To Make the Hungarian Green Bean soup Recipe?

Compared to other Hungarian soup recipes, like white bean soup with smoked ribs or smoked sausage potato soup, where the thickness is added near the end, now we will start with this one.

For this, in a soup pot, heat about 50 ml of vegetable oil, I used sunflower oil, in which we put two tablespoons of wheat flour.

Recipe-Frying Flour in Hot Oil

Work over medium heat and stir continuously so that the flour does not burn and add a tablespoon of Hungarian sweet paprika powder.

Mix and slowly pour one cup of water (250 ml) which we adapt to the boiling temperature, thus obtaining a thickening for the soup.

Thickener is Ready in the Pot

Now we can add the frozen green beans, directly into the pot over the thickener.

Pour two more cups of water, stir and let the beans thaw a little, for a few minutes.

Add the rest of the water (I put about two litres), season with a tablespoon of sea salt, and when it starts to boil I added the canned chopped tomatoes.

Finishing the Soup

Let the soup boil until the beans are done, it took me about 20 minutes, usually for this type of frozen beans you don't need more.

Boiling Green Bean Soup in the Pot

At the end we taste and season, I added a tablespoon of a vegetable mix for soups and a tablespoon of sugar to balance the flavours (I like to put a little sugar in recipes that use tomatoes or tomato juice). If you want, you can add some chopped parsley.

And that's it, this was the Hungarian green bean soup recipe, in my version, which we can serve.

Serving the Green Bean Soup

Serve hot, with a slice of fresh bread and possibly a tablespoon of sour cream. If you want, you can add a little fresh chilli pepper.

    My grandmother used make this but not with tomatoes... with potatoes instead...and even as a kid...I loved it... I remember the sauce being white..so I don't believe paprika was used to season it... I also remember her referring to it as "bub"?
    Ring any bells?

      Yes, it is called "bab" for beans and "zöldbab" for green beans.
