  I think I only made them once b/c Ava hated them (actually she loves them now, but never took to green beans until she could just eat regular ones like we eat)--but I believe I read to put the puree through a strainer?  I don't remember what I did, but I never quite got mine smooth either.

  I cooked mine on the long end of the suggested times and did them in the regular blender and they were smooth. Maybe you need more water?

  I did the same as copswife.  I steamed them for about a minute longer than the time limit so they'd be a little mushier.  Then I pureed them in my blender.  They came out smoothe.  I've only made them once.  I still have cubes in my freezer... B didn't like them so much.  But he LOVED peas. And avocado.  Go figure.

  Definitely oversteam all of the veggies you make.  I usually add two minutes to the time to get them borderline mushy.  Also, I saw a tip online to let the veggie cool completely before putting them in the blender (especially peas) to make them easy to puree.  It works very well.  A little texture is not always a bad thing.  She might like them pureed more coarsely.

  ETA:  You might try a regular blender if you cant get the immersion blender to puree them enough.  I use the chop function on high and then set it to puree.
