JOOLS' WHOLESOME VEG & BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Start by prepping the base of your soup: trim and very finely slice the celery, peel and roughly chop the carrots and trim, wash and roughly chop the leeks. Peel and very finely slice the garlic, then pick and finely chop the rosemary. Finely slice the bacon.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of oil into a large pan on a medium heat, then add the rosemary and bacon. Fry for a few minutes, or until the bacon is just turning golden, then add the chopped celery, carrots, leeks and garlic. Cook gently for around 15 minutes, or until soft, stirring regularly.
• Add the beans (there's no need to drain them) and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer for 30 minutes - add a little more stock or water if you think it needs it.

WHITE BEAN AND VEGETABLE SOUP

Steps:

• Place the dry beans in a pot, cover with 3" of cold water, and let them soak overnight.
• The next morning drain the beans in a colander and rinse very well with cold water. Return the beans to the pot, add just enough water to cover them, and bring the water to a boil. After a couple of minutes, remove the pot from the heat, drain the water again and rinse the beans again. (This step is important, not only you are getting rid of the impurities and the residue of the beans, but your beans will be easier to digest and more gentle on your stomach!)
• Return the rinsed beans to the pot along with 6 cups of cold water and the olive oil. Bring to a boil, reduce to a medium simmer, and partially cover with a lid. Cook for 15 minutes.
• While the beans cook start prepping the vegetables. Once prepared add the leeks, shallot, kale, carrots, celery and garlic to the pot. Next add the bay leaves, oregano, rosemary, and ground pepper. Finally, if you have it, add the Parmesan rind (it adds lots of flavor to soups and stews as it slowly melds with the broth). Cook the soup for another 30 minutes, or, until beans are almost cooked.
• Stir the potatoes and the tomato into the soup. Simmer for another 15 minutes or so, until the potatoes are tender. Lastly, stir in the soup the salt. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary.
• Let the soup cool down slightly, then serve with a generous drizzle of olive oil and a good sprinkle of fresh Parmesan cheese.
