                    This simple soup will warm you up on a cold day. Ingredients: 
                    
                        
                                                3/4 pound shelled edamame  |  
                                                1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil  |  
                                                1/2 small onion, chopped  |  
                                                2 1/2 cups chicken stock  |  
                                                1 2/3 cups milk  |  
                                                1 1/2 tablespoons butter  |  
                                                salt and pepper to taste  |  
                                                
                     
                    Directions: 
                    
                        
                            
                                1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add edamame, boil for 5 minutes, then drain and rinse with cold water. Once edamame have cooled, remove the skins by squeezing each bean until the center pops out; discard the shells and set the beans aside. 2. Heat oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until they soften and turn translucent, about 5 minutes. Pour in chicken stock, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add shelled edamame and continue cooking until the edamame and onions are both soft. 3. Pour into a blender and carefully puree until smooth; or use a stick blender, and puree the beans in the saucepan. Return the puree to the saucepan and stir in milk and butter. Heat the soup through, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.                              |
