Cooking Steps
1
- Trim the root and dark green leafy part from half the leek (double for 4p). Thinly slice.
- Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop into 1cm chunks.
- Roughly chop half the parsley (double for 4p), stalks and all.
- Drain and rinse the cannellini beans.
2
- Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pot (for the soup) on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the leek and season with salt and pepper.
- Cook the leek until softened, 4-5 mins, stirring occasionally.
- Add the chorizo and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Cook the chorizo thoroughly.
3
- Add half the dried Italian herbs (double for 4p), courgette and cannellini beans. Cook for 1 min, stirring frequently.
- Add tomato paste, stock and 500ml water (double for 4p). Bring to a boil and simmer for 10-12 mins, or until the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the dried chilli flakes (use less if you don't like spice). Season to taste with salt, pepper and sugar.
TIP: If you're in a hurry you can boil the water in your kettle.
4
- Dish up spoonfuls of healthy, hearty vegetable, cannelini bean and chorizo soup.
