Chard, Leek & White Bean Soup with Herbs & Olive Oil

Learning Objective

You will find out how to make a soup by Gill Meller.

Learning Outcome

You will know how to make a hearty soup with chard, leek and white beans.

What a delight to have this glorious soup recipe from Gill Meller's book ROOT STEM LEAF FLOWER (Published by Quadrille, photography by Andrew Montgomery) for you to make to enjoy alongside your homemade sourdough bread. This hearty and healthy Chard, Leek & White Bean Soup with Herbs & Olive Oil is great for nourishing body and soul, particularly during the chilly months...

"I’m a big fan of soups that make you feel you’ve eaten well. A good minestrone or a ribollita will do that, and this chard, leek and bean soup is a superb case in point. I like to trickle this soup with my best extra-virgin olive oil before serving. View it like salt and pepper, as a seasoning."
