Hearty Kale and Butter Bean Winter Soup...


Prep time: 10 minutes

Cooking time: 30 minutes

Serves: 4

Ingredients 

50g TOTAL Classic Greek Yoghurt

½ onion, diced

½ sprig of thyme

Squirt of low calorie spray oil

1 clove of garlic, crushed

1 tins butter beans, washed and drained

500ml litre vegetable stock

100g curly kale, washed and chopped

Method

Fry off the onion and thyme in a squirt of oil until soft. Add the garlic, butter beans and vegetable stock.

Cook for approximately 20 minutes until the beans are soft and mushy.

Fold in the kale and cook for a further 10 minutes until the kale is wilted and soft.

Divide the soup into two parts, blitz one portion and then mix back together with the rest of the soup. Place a spoonful of Greek yoghurt in the middle of each bowl, season to taste and serve with some warm, crusty bread.

Chef’s tip:

To spice the soup up a little, try adding a little pan-fried chorizo sausage to the soup before serving.

  5. Hi there, we've just spotted this soup and think it looks like a delicious warming recipe!

    We've got a competition going on our website, to find a winter warmer soup for our 'Soup of the Month' competition, and we'd love it if you could to enter one of your recipes (or maybe more?). Here's some more details... http://bit.ly/J5Qamm
