    Leek, potato and cannellini bean soup.

    Hearty and deeply satisfying, here's an easy soup recipe to warm you right up.

    This soup takes second place in the soup stakes at our house (first place favourite goes to Green soup). This is another great lunch, or light dinner served with some good bread. There's a few serves of veges in here, as well as protein and fibre from the beans, so it'll fill hungry tummies quite nicely.
