Ingredients

Smoked tofu croutons

Method

  1. 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.
  2. Add the potatoes, beans and stock. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the potatoes are falling apart.
  3. 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.
  4. Take the soup off the heat, add the silken tofu and nutritional yeast and blend until completely smooth.
  5. Season with salt and white pepper and reheat gently without boiling.
  6. 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.
