Finding this lovely blog has been an absolute inspiration for my vegan cooking, I cook up something nice for Sam and Hayley every week as I look after our granddaughter and this blog has soo many recipes I'm spoilt for choice.
This one appealed to me as I love all thing beany and lentilly and I make a really large pot and share it between us.
It was terribly easy to make and I would say served 5/6 portions with some nice crusty bread.
Ingredients
For the bean puree
- 1 to 1.5 cups cooked white beans( I used canned )
- 0.75 cup cashews or 1 cup silken tofu
- 6 teaspoons white miso
- 6 tablespoons nutritional yeast
- 3 tablespoon lemon juice
- 3 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1.5 cup vegetable stock or a little more if needed
Place all ingredients into a blender and blitz until nice and smooth.
Ingredients for the soup
- 6 teaspoons olive oil
- 12 cloves garlic finely chopped or minced
- 2 large chopped onions
- 6 teaspoons tomato paste
- 3 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 0.75 to 1.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 4 large chopped carrots chopped small
- 3 sticks chopped celery chopped small
- 1 red pepper chopped small
- 3 x 400g tins any cooked white beans
- 1 Large tin sweetcorn
- 3 cups chopped broccoli chopped small
- 4.5 cups vegetable stock or more if needed
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
Heat the oil in a flameproof stock pot and gently fry the garlic for a few seconds, add the onions and a good dash of salt, cook for about 10 minutes or until the onions are softened but not brown.
Add all the herbs and spices and tomato paste and a splash of stock and cook out for a couple of minutes.
Add all the veggies, cover and cook for 5 minutes.
Add all the beans and the puree and the stock, give it all a good stir and cover and cook for a further 15 minutes until the veg are cooked.
Add more lemon juice if needed, add salt and pepper to taste and serve with crusty bread.
Picture ruthlessly taken from the original blog as we ate ours before photographing! It simply delicious and we all agreed that we love to have it again.
