Instructions
 

Leek Butter Bean Soup:

  • In a large pot over medium heat, add extra virgin olive oil along with red onions. Saute until onions are softened.
  • Add the greens of the leeks, and cook until softened.
  • Add the white parts of the leeks and gently stir to avoid breaking up the rings or separating them. Gently stir and cook until slightly softened.
  • Add the butter beans, vegetable stock, salt, and black pepper. Cover and bring to a boil.
  • Boil for 5 minutes and check for doneness by cutting the whites of the leek.
  • Once done, turn off the heat and add apple cider vinegar along with fresh parsley. Check for seasoning and adjust as desired.
  • Serve with croutons, walnuts, more fresh parsley, and a drizzle of truffle oil.

Croutons:

  • Cut french bread into roughly 1" cubes.
  • Transfer the bread to a foil lined air fryer tray.
  • Drizzle with Olive Oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat all pieces with Oil and seasoning.
  • Bake at 400F until golden brown.
  • 10 minutes before croutons are done, spray or rub the fresh rosemary with oil and add to the air fry to toast.
  • Remove croutons and rosemary from oven and allow to cool.
  • Crush the rosemary, and sprinkle on top of croutons along with lemon zest and toss.
  • Enjoy :)

Notes

  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The soup can also be frozen for up to 3 months.
  • Make Ahead: Prepare the soup in advance and reheat when ready to serve. The flavors tend to deepen over time.
  • Serving Suggestions: Pair with crusty bread, croutons, or a side salad for a more complete meal.
  • Reheating Tips: Reheat over medium heat, stirring occasionally. If the soup thickens too much, add a splash of vegetable broth or water to thin it out.
