Thanks to Katie from the BBC for the following receipe. It sounds really nice, so i shall try it myself this week. here it is...


Here we go a recipe for Bean Soup, it tastes better than it looks.
4 baby leeks
1 large carrot - finely diced
1 large onion - finely diced
2 sticks Celery - finely chopped
400g tin Cannellini beans in unsalted water
2 cloves garlic
2 pints stock
1 tsp dried thyme or a few sprigs of fresh Thyme
2 bay leaves (I didn't use these)
Black pepper olive oil
Method
1. Cook onion and garlic until brown in a small amount of olive oil.
2. Add vegetables (except mushrooms) and cook until slightly brown
3. Add stock and herbs and bring to the boil then simmer for 15 mins until vegetables are tender
4. Add mushrooms and simmer for 5 mins, then add beans and simmer for a further 5 mins
5. Liquidise soup ( think it's better not to do this but it just depends how you like your soup)
6. Season with black pepper
Enjoy!!!!!
