SWEET GREEN BEAN SOUP

Sweet Green Bean Soup Recipe @ treatntrick.blogspot.com

One of popular South East Asian desserts made with whole dried green bean (mung bean), coconut milk and palm sugar. It is slow cooked until the beans become soft.

Dried green beans are commonly used to make dessert by processing them into flour. This flour is then churned  into delicious dessert , one such dessert is Koleh Koleh (Green Bean Pudding).

Green bean is a good source of protein, minerals and has a cooling effect on our body. For healthier version, add low fat milk instead of coconut milk.

I've made soup with mung beans before, but always savory, never sweet. Your sweet version reminds me of rice pudding, which I love! Thanks for sharing this with Sunday Night Soup Night, look forward to seeing you again soon!
