  • Water, as needed
  • 1½ pounds fresh or frozen shelled edamame

  1. In a stockpot, heat olive oil over medium low heat. Add onions and potato. Stir to coat, and allow to cook for about five minutes, adding a little bit of water if vegetables are sticking.
  2. Add edamame and vegetable stock. Cover and simmer on a medium heat for 15-20 minutes until potatoes and beans are tender.
  3. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Scoop out beans and add to processor. Blend until smooth, adding soup mixture a few Tablespoons at a time until totally smooth (you may need to process for 10 minutes or so; a blender will likely be less time).
