2 tablespoons olive oil
50g unsalted butter
1 onion, chopped
1 leek (white part only), chopped
2 garlic cloves, chopped
2 bay leaves
2 tablespoons chopped thyme leaves
400g can butter beans, rinsed, drained
1 celeriac, peeled, chopped
2 1/2 cups (750ml) chicken stock
1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored, cut into 1cm pieces

Method

1.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 20g butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onion and leek, and cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add garlic, bay leaves, thyme, beans, celeriac and stock. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to low and cook, partially covered, for 15-20 minutes until celeriac is tender. Cool slightly.
2.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 30g butter in a frypan over high heat. Combine the apple and sugar, then cook, turning, until caramelised. Set aside and wipe the pan clean. Add remaining 1 tbs oil and cook chorizo for 2-3 minutes until cooked through and crisp. Remove from pan and drain on paper towel, reserving pan juices.
3.

Blend soup, in batches, then return to pan with cream. Season and warm gently.
4.

Serve with apple, chorizo and parsley, drizzled with chorizo oil from the pan.
