JUDY'S WHITE BEAN SOUP WITH CHILLI OIL

Steps:

• Put all the butter beans in a large bowl and cover with plenty of cold water so they have room to swell up. Leave to soak overnight.
• Drain the beans. Shuck off and discard the skins by pinching the beans between finger and thumb - it's a laborious job, but worth it. Put the beans in a colander, rinse and shake off the excess water.
• Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onion and garlic for 1-2 minutes. Tip in the carrots and celery and fry gently for 2-3 minutes. Add the beans, stock, bay and thyme with some pepper, and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, skimming off any scum, until the beans are soft. Cool for 10 minutes, discard the bay and thyme, then whizz the soup in a food processor until smooth. (You will probably have to do this in batches.)
• Return the soup to the rinsed pan and bring to the boil. Check for seasoning, then serve with a drizzle of chilli oil and a sprinkling of thyme leaves.
