  • 1 red onion, diced
  • 5 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Leaves from 7 thyme sprigs (or 1 tsp dried thyme)

  • 1 x 400g tin cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
  • 1 x 400g tin butter beans, drained and rinsed
  • 700ml reduced-salt vegetable or chicken stock
  • 3 tbsp nutritional yeast (or 20g Parmesan, finely grated or vegetarian hard cheese)
  • 100ml light coconut milk
  • White pepper

Storage information

Leave to cool, then cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days. Reheat until piping hot, adding a splash of water if it has thickened. Freeze for up to 3 months; defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until piping hot.

Roasted version: For a deeper flavour, roast the cauliflower with half the oil at 200c (180c fan) for 25 minutes before adding it in step 3. Bigger appetites: Serve with a slice of wholemeal toast.
