Leek and Butter Bean Soup

Ingredients

  • 3 large leeks
  • 125g/5oz dried butter beans
  • dash of vegan white wine vinegar
  • vegetable stock
  • lemon juice
  • fresh chopped parsley
  • black pepper

Directions

Soak beans in water overnight, boil until fairly tender (about 1.5 hours
depending on age of beans). Cut leeks into slices and saute in a little
water and vinegar. Add beans, a mixture of bean water and vegetable stock

few beans and leek pieces for texture and puree the rest. Return pieces to soup
and stir in seasonings to taste.
