Instructions

1. Top and tail the beans, remove the strings and cut them into thin pieces.
2. Bring the broth to a boil with the onion, carrot and celery and add the beans once it's boiling, so they keep their color. Cook them until very tender, about 40 minutes.
3. Blend everything and, if the beans were stringy, pass it through a strainer.
4. Add the vegan butter and season with salt and pepper. It should be on the thick side. Serve it with toasted or fried bread.
