Equipment

Ingredients

avocado oil (or other neutral oil) for the pot
3 small shallots (¼ pound) peeled, roughly chopped
3 tablespoons uncooked Jasmine rice
⅓ packed cup fresh mint leaves washed, dried
2 pounds shelled edamame thawed if frozen
6 cups light vegetable stock unsalted or low-sodium
2 tablespoons mirin
2 tablespoons soy sauce preferably low sodium
1 teaspoon Kosher salt use half the amount if you use table salt
freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons heavy cream optional
chili oil for garnish optional
Togarashi for garnish optional

Instructions

Sauté. Place a large soup pot over medium-low heat, coat it with the oil, and add the shallots and rice. Cook just until the shallots are soft and slightly golden, and the rice is beginning to brown - about 5 minutes.
Set about ½ cup of the edamame and set aside for garnish.
Simmer. Add the edamame and mint to the pot and stir to blend. Then add the vegetable stock, mirin and soy sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to lowest setting, cover the pot, and simmer for 15 minutes.
Blend. For this amount of soup, puréeing should be done in 3 bathes in a blender. Use a large ladle to add about about ⅓ of the soup to a powerful blender and purée until smooth. Pout this into a large bowl. Repeat twice more, and then pour all of the puréed soup back into the pot. Add the salt and a few turns of freshly ground black pepper. (And season again to taste if necessary.)
For a slightly richer consistency, add the heavy cream.
Serve and garnish. If you're serving individually, garnish each bowl with a few whole edamame beans, a drizzle of chili oil, and a sprinkle of Togarashi. You can also serve the beans, oil, and Togarashi on the side as options.
