    Serves: 4

    Ingredients

    20g unsalted butter
    2 leeks, halved and finely sliced
    1 garlic clove, crushed
    400g can essential Waitrose butter beans, drained and rinsed
    750ml chicken stock

    Method

    1. Heat the butter in a large pan until foaming. Add the leeks and garlic and sweat for 5 minutes, until the leeks have softened. Add the butter beans, chicken stock and white wine vinegar, then simmer gently for 3 - 4 minutes. Mix the mustard into the cream, then stir into the soup along with the ham.
