Happy Thursday guys! Recipe of the day is Leek & Butter Bean soup -really simple but very satisfying soup!

Leek & Butter Bean Soup

I think leek is one of the ingredients that people either love or hate. I’m definitely from the first ones. I’ve had a lot of eggs and leek in my childhood, which was my dad’s special. I enjoy it in every recipe I’ve tried but mostly with eggs and in a soup. It’s also delicious in bakes and pies. It’s such a simple ingredient but it gives so much flavour to the dish. And guess what, it’s in season so why not give this yummy soup below a try? 🙂 It is ridiculously easy and uses two ingredients, literally – butter beans and leek.
