Frothy Cannellini Soup

Stylish, frothy and easy - by Barbara Northwood
  • 25 Mar 2019
Frothy Cannellini Soup
Prep: 10 Minutes - Cook: 20 Minutes - Easy - Serves 8
Proudly supported by

If you have a cappuccino frother, you can use it to give a restaurant-style frothiness to the cannellini soup. Whizz each serving for a few seconds, in the cup.

Ingredients

3 tbsp olive oil

1 large onion, finely chopped

2 garlic cloves, crushed

1 medium leek, thinly sliced

3 sticks celery, finely chopped

2 x 400g cans cannellini beans, drained and rinsed

1.7litres/3pints vegetable stock

1 bay leaf

142ml carton double cream

150g pot fresh green pesto from the chiller cabinet

125g pack (around 16) sesame bread sticks, optional

Method

  1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan and tip in the onion, garlic, leek and celery. Cover and sweat the vegetables over a low heat for 8-10 mins until softened.

  2. Add the beans, stock and bay leaf, then season and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, then simmer, covered, for 20-25 mins until the vegetables are completely softened. Allow to cool slightly. 

  3. Whizz with a stick blender until smooth, pour in the cream and re-heat. The soup can be refrigerated or frozen at this point.

  4. Before serving, add half the pesto and whizz again for just a few seconds until the soup is flecked with basil. Season to taste. Ladle the soup into 8 cappuccino cups or bowls and spoon a dollop of the remaining pesto into each serving. Serve straight away and accompany with sesame breadsticks, if you like.
