# Ingredients You'll Need:

→ Vegetables

01 - 400 g fresh green beans, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
02 - 1 medium onion, finely diced
03 - 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
04 - 4 medium potatoes, peeled and cut into 1.5 cm cubes
05 - 2 carrots, peeled and grated
06 - 2 parsley roots, peeled and grated (or substitute with extra carrots)
07 - White part of 1 leek, finely chopped

→ Liquids & Fats

08 - 1 tablespoon clarified butter
09 - 1.5 litres vegetable or chicken broth, kept warm

→ Spices & Seasonings

10 - 0.5 teaspoon ground turmeric
11 - 0.33 teaspoon chili powder
12 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

→ For Finishing

13 - 250 ml sour cream
14 - Fresh dill, finely chopped

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Melt clarified butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat. Add the diced onion and cook gently for 5–7 minutes until translucent and fragrant, stirring often.
02 - Stir in the chopped garlic and cook for 1 minute until aromatic, ensuring it does not brown.
03 - Add grated carrots and parsley roots. Sauté for 2–3 minutes to start softening.
04 - Add the chopped leek and diced potatoes, stirring well to evenly coat with the aromatic base.
05 - Pour in the warmed broth. Stir in turmeric, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Bring to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the potatoes and roots begin to soften.
06 - Add the green beans to the simmering soup. Cover and cook for a further 10–15 minutes until the beans are tender yet still vibrant, checking doneness to avoid overcooking.
07 - Ladle a small amount of hot soup into a bowl with sour cream and whisk to temper. Gradually return this mixture to the pot, stirring constantly to create a creamy, smooth texture.
08 - Remove the pot from heat and stir in the finely chopped fresh dill. Adjust seasoning as desired and serve hot.

# Extra Tips:

01 - Use freshly grated root vegetables for even texture and enhanced sweetness.
02 - Warming broth before adding keeps cooking even and prevents temperature drop.
03 - Temper sour cream to prevent curdling.
04 - Stir in fresh dill just before serving to preserve its bright flavor.
05 - Adjust seasoning throughout the cooking process according to taste preference.
