Borlotti Bean Soup

Submitted by SparklePwny

"This is one of my favourite soups that my mum made when I was young. It's tasty and filling and perfect for the colder months. I often double this amount and sometimes vary water and stock. It always tastes best the day after it's made and goes well with fresh bread."
