White Bean Soup



This white bean soup is elegantly simple, wholesome and healthy. Beans are the hero of the dish, as they should be with a bean soup. It has a silky texture as well a bit of bite from the whole beans. The addition of parsley and garlic compliment, but don't over power the flavour of the bean. It is simple to make and quick to cook, a perfect after work meal.
