Green Mung Bean Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Soak the mung beans overnight in water. Clean and finely grind ginger and garlic. Drain the mung beans, wash them two times and cook in a pressure cooker with the indicated amount of water until tender. It takes around 25 minutes (45 minutes in regular pot).The beans have to be broken. Heat the oil or ghee in a large deep saucepan and add mustard seeds. When mustard seeds pop, add hing, bay leaf, turmeric, cumin, coriander, ginger and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well and do not allow to burn. Place the cooked beans with the fresh water and the remaining ingredients into the saucepan. Bring to a boil then simmer for a few minutes more. Add Lemon and Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place beans in a large pot and add 4 cups water; bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for approximately 30 to 40 minutes, or as long as needed until the marjority of the beans pop their skins and the water is absorbed (if your water cooks out and the beans are not cooked, simply add more water as needed and continue cooking until beans burst; it is better to overcook than undercook, but in any event, continue cooking until the water is all absorbed).
• Meanwhile, saute garlic, chilis and onion in olive oil until the onion softens, about 5 minutes; set aside.
• When the beans have burst and the water has cooked off, add the chicken stock to the beans and bring to a boil.
• Add the onion mixture, ham, and spinach to the pot; reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Season with salt and pepper, if desired, and serve.
