White Bean Soup

Fresh vegetable stock is fairly simple to make to use in the soup. However, a vegetable stock cube will work well dissolved in hot water. Seasoning with salt at each stage of the cooking is great. The stock cube will be salty so less salt is needed.

1. Spanish Onions x 1 ½ 
2. Garlic Cloves x 2
3. Tinned Ready To Use Butterbeans x 400g 
4. Vegetable Stock x 400 ml
5. Thyme x 3 Sprigs
