Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp rapeseed oil
  • 2 large leeks, well washed, halved lengthways and finely sliced
  • 700g carrots, chopped
  • 1.4l hot reduced-salt vegetable bouillon (we used Marigold)

  • 2/3 small pack tarragon, leaves roughly chopped

Method

  1. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan and fry the leeks and carrots for 5 mins to soften.

  2. Pour over the stock, stir in the garlic, the beans with their liquid, and three-quarters of the tarragon, then cover and simmer for 15 mins or until the veg is just tender. Stir in the remaining tarragon before serving.
