This herby, limey soup is sooo warming. You can buy a 'ghorme sabzi' dried herb blend in international supermarkets. It usually contains chives , coriander leaves , fenugreek leaves and parsley.

Steps

1 hour

1

Heat a good splash of oil in a pan. Add garlic and bay and infuse for a minute on a low heat.
2

Rinse and add beans and a pinch of salt. Stir well for a minute so nicely coated in the garlicky oil.
3

Add potato, shallots, carrot and the herb mix. Stir well.
4

Add the bouillon, dried limes and pour in enough water to cover well. Add a good squeeze of lime.
Give it a taste and add more herbs if you feel it needs it
5

Bring to boil, then leave to simmer for 20-30 mins, or until the veg is tender and it's tasting fantastic.
Season to taste with salt and lime juice. Remove the dried limes - don't eat them!
Serve with drizzle of olive oil. Yum!
