This soup always reminds me of those comforting bowls of carrot and butter bean soup I used to love years ago whenever I felt under the weather or wanted something easy and warming. I had actually been making a simpler carrot soup version for quite a while, mainly because proper butter beans were harder to find here in Canada and the lima beans available just never quite had the same creamy texture I was used to. Once I finally managed to get hold of some butter beans again though, this soup instantly became everything I remembered and loved about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is actually such an easy soup to make too. The only ingredients you may not already have sitting in your pantry are the butter beans and dried fennel, but the fennel really is worth adding. It gives the soup a subtle flavour that works perfectly with the sweetness of the carrots and really helps make this taste like a proper carrot and butter bean soup.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
