Ingredients
Smoked tofu croutons
Method
- Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a medium-low heat. Add the leeks and onion, cover and cook gently for 10 minutes, stirring now and then, until soft but not browned.
- Add the potatoes, beans and stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are falling apart.
- While the soup simmers, heat the oil for the croutons in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry the smoked tofu for 6 to 8 minutes, turning, until crisp and well browned.
- Take the soup off the heat, add the silken tofu and nutritional yeast and blend until completely smooth.
- Season with salt and white pepper and reheat gently without boiling.
- Ladle into bowls and top with the croutons and chives.
Notes
- Leeks trap grit between their layers. Slice them first, then wash the slices in a bowl of cold water.
- The soup freezes well. Make the croutons fresh.
