Ham Hock, Leek + Bean Soup

This is a very relaxed, throw it all in a pan, use up your leftovers kinda recipe. Sub the ham for leftover turkey, or add any extra Christmas trimmings to keep it veggie.

Feeds: 2

Takes: 20 minutes

Ingredients

2 leeks, sliced
1 jar of Queen Butter Bean - with their bean stock
2 servings of leftover roast ham hock, shredded
5 sprigs of fresh thyme
1 garlic clove, crushed
500ml chicken stock

For the crumb

4 tbsp bread crumbs (or GF breadcrumbs)
30 g cooked chestnuts, finely chopped

Made with:
Butter Beans

These are the most ridiculously creamy, big, juicy butter beans you will find on this planet. We see them as the "creme de la creme" of the bean world. Try them tossed through a puttanesca sauce or with a fresh basil pesto - they're packed full of natural protein so great for flexitarians.

Directions

step 1
Heat the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the leeks and crushed garlic and cook for 6-7 minutes until softened.
step 2
Add the thyme leaves to the pan and fry for a further minute. Pour in the butter beans with their bean stock and stir to combine.
step 3
Add the chicken or veg stock and shredded ham pieces and gently simmer for 4-5 minutes. Season with black pepper.
step 4
Remove a ladleful of the mixture and add to a blender. Blitz until smooth then stir this back into the pan; this step is optional but it just adds creaminess and thickness to the soup.
step 5
Meanwhile, toast breadcrumbs and chopped chestnuts in a dry pan for 1-2 minutes until golden. Set aside.
step 6
Serve the soup into bowls and top with the chestnut crumb.
