28 Dec White Beans and Leek Soup
This recipe is simple but perfect for a light and healthy dinner. You can vary the herbs according to your taste and put chickpeas instead of white beans if that’s what you have in your cupboards. Be careful to choose a natural broth without sodium and canned white beans without salt.
You can also choose to cook them yourself, it’s the best solution and it is faster with an Instant Pot, if you have one.
