Ingredients

1½tbsp olive oil

1 onion, finely chopped

175g pack Asda Sliced Leeks

2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

1tsp mixed herbs

2 x 400g tins Asda Butter Beans, drained and rinsed well

1litre vegetable stock

75g leftover bread (we used Asda medium sliced seeded)

½tsp ground cumin

1tbsp chopped flat leaf parsley, to serve

Method

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan/gas 6. Heat 1tbsp of the oil in a large saucepan on a medium heat and cook the onion and leeks for 2 mins until just beginning to colour. Lower the heat, season, add a splash of water and cover, cooking for another 4-5 mins until the leek is soft. Stir in the garlic and herbs and cook for another minute.

Add the butter beans and stock, stir, bring to the boil then turn down and simmer, covered, for 15 mins.

Slice the leftover bread into cubes and toss in remaining oil and cumin. Bake for 8-10 mins until crunchy.

Blitz the soup with a hand blender until creamy and season well. Spoon into bowls, scatter with the croutons and parsley to serve.
