3 garlic cloves, crushed

1 tsp dried thyme

2. Add the garlic and once fragrant, stir in the dried thyme. Toss to coat the veggies in the herbs and after heating through for a minute, pour in the veg stock.

3. Bring to a simmer, then add cover and reduce the heat. Let everything simmer for 5-8 mins for the flavours to meld together.

4. Add in the cannellini beans, and once heated through, use a stick blender to blend roughly 1⁄4 of the soup to give it a creamy texture. Stir well, and simmer on low heat for 10 mins, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
