White bean and courgette soup recipe

24 ratings

A great soup for weekend – or weekday – lunches. The haricot beans mean it's filling, without being stodgy. It's also a really nice way to use up any leftover courgettes. Serve with crusty bread, if you like. See method

Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan set over a medium heat. Sweat the onion and garlic for 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally, until softened. Drain the sliced leek and add to the pan. Add the courgette and beans and cook for a further 5 mins, stirring occasionally.
  2. Cover with the stock and bring the mixture to the boil. Reduce to a simmer and stir in the milk. Simmer the soup for 20-25 mins until the beans are soft.
  3. Once the beans are soft, stir through the chopped parsley. Season to taste before ladling into soup bowls. Serve immediately.
