Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon Olive oil in a large pan and add 230 g Carrot and 3 Shallots. Cook on a low heat for 5 minutes.
- Add 235 g Butter beans (including the water from the can).
- Add 500 ml Chicken stock and 1 pinch Sea salt and ground black pepper. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- Blend until smooth. Serve topped with chopped Bacon and Chives (both optional).
Notes
- Keep this vegan by using a vegetable stock.
- You may need to add a little bit more stock to the soup after blending, depending on the consistency that you want. If you have cooked the soup on too high a heat, then it will need more stock, otherwise it will be very thick. But, you might like it that way.
- Make this soup even more indulgent by adding some chopped bacon on top.
- Top with some toasted seeds to add some crunch.
- Use a stick blender to blend this soup. If you are going to use a jug blender, make sure it cools down first, as putting hot soup in can cause it to break.
- If you are making this soup for young children, then use a low salt stock.
