    This leek, spinach and cannellini bean soup is quick and easy to make.  Filling without being too rich, making it an ideal lunchtime dish which will keep you satisfied until supper time.two bowls of leek, spinach and cannellini bean soup with chunks of bread on the sideThere is something rather satisfying about a bowl of hot steaming soup.  Soup is a humble dish and yet has the ability to fill you up and more than satisfy your taste buds. This Leek, spinach and cannellini bean soup is no exception.

    This soup is so easy it wasn't even worth including any step pictures.  The leeks are gently softened in the oil , then (keeping back a few sautéd leeks  for garnish) all the other ingredients are added and the soup is simmered for 10 minutes before blitzing until smooth. Job done and the soup is on the table in less than 30 minutes.
