Fragrant White Bean Soup
This first course soup packs a fibre punch due to the navy beans. Don’t forget to drain the beans after cooking them or the soup will be watery. Serve with hearty wholegrain bread and some crudités to turn it into a main course. Never salt the water when cooking dried beans, or the beans will not fully soften.

You can use smoked paprika in this soup, if you’d like. Tomatoes are a wonderful source of the anti-oxidant lycopene.
