Ingredients
- 1 tbsp rapeseed oil

- 1.4l hot reduced-salt vegetable bouillon (we used Marigold)
- 4 garlic cloves, finely grated
- 2 x 400g cans cannellini beans in water
- ⅔ small pack tarragon, leaves roughly chopped
Method
-
Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan and fry the leeks and carrots for 5 mins to soften.

Pour over the stock, stir in the garlic, the beans with their liquid, and three-quarters of the tarragon, then cover and simmer for 15 mins or until the veg is just tender. Stir in the remaining tarragon before serving.
