• 2 teaspoons sea salt, or to taste

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large soup pot, heat the oil over medium heat. Add onions and cumin and saute, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until onions soften and ingredients are fragrant.

3. Add green beans, cardamom, curry powder, and salt. Simmer covered for another 5 minutes or until beans are tender.
