A coarse-grained multi-blob description of polymer solutions is presented, based on soft, transferable effective interactions between bonded and non-bonded blobs. The number of blobs is chosen such that the blob density does not exceed their overlap threshold, allowing polymer concentrations to be explored deep into the semi-dilute regime. This quantitative multi-blob description is shown to preserve known scaling laws of polymer solutions and provides accurate estimates of amplitudes, while leading to orders of magnitude increase of simulation efficiency and allowing analytic calculations of structural and thermodynamic properties.
