instructions

Step 1.
Heat a large pot to medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil, leek, onion, celery and carrots. Sauté for 8-10 minutes or until the vegetables have softened.
-
Step 2.
Add garlic, bay leaves, thyme and mushrooms. Sauté for 1-2 minutes or until fragrant.
-
Step 3.
Pour in vegetable stock and stir through cannellini beans with the brine and butterbeans with the brine. Simmer for 10 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Add the cabbage and cook for a further 5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
-
Step 5.
Remove the bay leaves and thyme, then spoon the soup into bowls. Serve and enjoy while warm!

Accompany your winter warming soup with a slice or two of your favourite bread.

Notes:
For a smooth and creamy winter warming soup, blend the mixture with a stick blender or in a blender once the bay leaf and thyme have been removed. The brine from the cannellini beans and butterbeans thickens the soup and helps reduce waste!
