White Bean And Leek Soup
Added: 30th Apr, 2007 | Viewed 295 times | |
You can soak the cannellini beans overnight and make this gorgeous, light soup from scratch. For me, a can of store-bought cannellini beans works just fine and is heaps quicker.
 
Preparation Time: 15 mins
Cooking Time: 45 mins
Serves 4
  Chicken
Ingredients
   1 can cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
   1 large leek, roughly chopped
   500g potatoes, peeled and chopped
   2-3 garlic cloves, chopped
   1/2 cup baby spinach leaves
   6 cups chicken stock
   1 tbsp olive oil
   1 tbsp thyme
   juice of 1 lemon
Method
Heat oil in a saucepan. Add leek and cook until soft on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for a minute. Add potatoes, stock and thyme. Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes until the potatoes are cooked and tender. Add beans and spinach leaves. Cook until spinach has wilted. Add lemon juice and season to taste. Serve hot.
