1. Start by boiling the beans and shallots
Place your beans in a medium pot along with 4 cups of water and the minced shallots. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
2. Add turmeric and simmer
Once your mixture comes to a boil, add in the turmeric. Lower the heat to a simmer and let the beans cook until they are tender.
3. Optionally puree the soup
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can puree the soup at this point. Carefully transfer the beans and broth to a blender or food processor and process until smooth, then return the puree to the pot.
4. Add fish sauce and salt
Add the fish sauce to the pot and adjust the seasoning with salt to taste. Bring the soup back to a gentle boil.
5. Stir in fresh greens
Stir in the fresh greens and allow them to wilt gently in the hot soup, which should take just a minute or two.
