Leek & Butter Bean Soup

Happy Thursday guys! Recipe of the day is Leek & Butter Bean soup -really simple but very satisfying soup!

I think leek is one of the ingredients that people either love or hate. I’m definitely from the first ones. I’ve had a lot of eggs and leek in my childhood, which was my dad’s special. I enjoy it in every recipe I’ve tried but mostly with eggs and in a soup. It’s also delicious in bakes and pies. It’s such a simple ingredient but it gives so much flavour to the dish. And guess what, it’s in season so why not give this yummy soup below a try? 🙂 It is ridiculously easy and uses two ingredients, literally – butter beans and leek.

What you need:

leek
butter beans
olive oil
butter
walnuts

Here’s how to make this beautiful Leek & Butter Bean Soup:

Ingredients:

2 leeks, thinly sliced
280g butter beans, cooked
1 cube vegetable bouillon
2tbsp olive oil
slat and pepper to taste

To garnish:

chopped walnuts
chickpeas
kale

Preparation:

Heat a pot with the olive oil and gently sweat the leek. Add salt and pepper to taste. Add the vegetable bouillon and about a litre of water.
Stir in the beans, lower down the heat and cook for about 20 minutes.
Leave to cool and blend the soup.
To serve – top it up with some chopped walnuts, chickpeas and kale, if wished.

Enjoy!
