Ingredients

  • 5 stalks celery
  • 2 medium sweet potato
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 400g canned butter beans

  1. Trim the hard part of the celery and peel large stringy branches. Cut the celery into small pieces.

  3. Heat the oil in a non-stick saucepan. Add the celery and stir on medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add the sweet potato and cover with water to about 3 cm over the vegetables. Season with a little salt and pepper, bring to the boil and cook for about 20 minutes.
  5. Add the drained and rinsed beans and simmer for 5 more minutes.
  6. Blend the soup to almost a purée, adding some boiling water if it is too thick. Stir in the finely chopped garlic and herbs of your choice and serve immediately.
