I made this with just one tin of beans. The beans add a lovely creaminess. Adding a little cream tastes good too. I sometimes do a mix of carrot, leek and cauliflower

Flavourless stock and tarragon is overpowering. It's the only thing you can taste. waste of good ingredients.

Lovely light soup. I tweaked a bit - I reduced the stock amount to 1 litre, added only 1x tin cannellini beans and also threw in a bunch of asparagus. Don't leave out the tarragon. It's a great flavouring for the soup.

Vegans be careful only the reduced salt Bouillon is vegan. The Swiss veg bouillon contains milk! But lovely soup.

Made a few minor alterations (onions instead of leeks, and 1 x tin of red kidney beans and 1 x tin of butter beans instead of cannellini). The tarragon was the magic ingredient!
