Ingredients

6 ounces haricots verts (French thin green beans), trimmed and halved crosswise
1 (1-pound) bag frozen edamame (soybeans in the pod) or 1 1/4 cups frozen shelled edamame, not thawed
2/3 cup finely chopped onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Turkish bay leaf or 1/2 California bay leaf
2 (3-inch) fresh rosemary sprigs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium carrot, cut into 1/8-inch dice
1 medium celery rib, cut into 1/8-inch dice
1 (15- to 16-ounces) can small white beans, rinsed and drained
1 1/2 cups chicken stock or low-sodium broth
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chervil (optional)
Garnish: fresh chervil sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cook haricots verts in a large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water, then drain.

    Step 2

    Add edamame to boiling water and cook 4 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold water. If using edamame in pods, shell them and discard pods.

    Step 3

    Cook onion, garlic, bay leaf, rosemary, salt, and pepper in oil in a 2- to 4-quart heavy saucepan over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Add carrot and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes.

    Step 4

    Add white beans and stock and simmer, covered, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes. Add haricots verts and edamame and simmer, uncovered, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Add butter, parsley, and chervil (if using) and stir gently until butter is melted. Discard bay leaf and rosemary sprigs.
