Ingredients
Ingredients (use vegan versions):
- 3 large leeks
- 125g/5oz dried butter beans
- dash of vegan white wine vinegar
- vegetable stock
- lemon juice
- fresh chopped parsley
- black pepper
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 about twice volume of solids, and simmer for about 30-40 minutes. Reserve a few beans and leek pieces for texture and puree the rest. Return pieces to soup and stir in seasonings to taste.
