Summer carrot, tarragon & white bean soup recipe

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 large leeks, well washed, halved lengthways and finely sliced
  • 700g carrots, chopped
  • 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.
