the Green Soup

Ingredients:

1 Tbsp of olive oil

2 medium potatoes

2 medium leeks

2 broccoli stalks

1 can of butter beans

2 cups of vegetable stock

a few cubes of hard blue cheese

pinch of tarragon

salt & pepper to taste

Chop up all the vegetables into small chunks. Heat the olive oil on low heat and add the potatoes and broccoli stalks. Cover and allow these to sweat for a while - you will notice the broccoli turns a bright green. Then add the leeks, cover and sweat some more but make sure you keep stirring!

Add the 2 cups of vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Once the potatoes fall off your knife (the one you stabbed into them) then you can reduce the heat and add the salt, pepper and tarragon. Take off the hob and blend all the soup until there are only small chunks showing. Make sure you don't puree it or it looks like bad baby food. Now return all back into the pot and add the butter beans and cheese - stirring on low heat. When the cheese has melted it is ready to eat!

Bon appetit!
