Carrot and Butterbean Soup

I thought a soup of carrots and butterbeans would be a soothing meal, but alas I made it much too spicy for M’s taste, and she ended up eating oatmeal instead. So I ate lots of soup the next day! Without the chilli, however, it works for all tastes.

Ingredients:
1 onion
oil
agave or sugar
6-8 carrots
vegetable stock cube
about 600 ml water
1 container butterbeans
chilli pepper, to taste
Greek yogurt

Instructions:
1. Dice the onion and fry it lightly in oil and agave or sugar.
2. Peel and slice the carrots into coins, then add them to the onion. Add the stock cube and water and boil.
3. Add the butterbeans and chilli pepper or other seasonings (coriander, parsley, black pepper) to taste.
4. Puree and serve with dollops of Greek yogurt.
