Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat the butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the onion and carrot and cook until soft, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in the curry powder and coriander and cook for 2 minutes longer. Add the beans and chicken broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat so the liquid simmers and cook until the beans are tender, about 1 ½ hours.

  2. Step 2

    Remove half of the beans from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Place the remaining beans with their liquid in a food processor and process until smooth. Stir the puree into the reserved beans. Stir in the salt and pepper. Ladle the soup among 4 bowls, top with cilantro and serve.

Very good and easy as written. Needs acid and more spices - added lime juice, turmeric, and way more curry powder and coriander than the recipe asked for.
