1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan, then gently soften the garlic without colouring. Tip in the swede, carrots and two-thirds of the thyme, then pour in the stock and milk. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins.
2. Ladle a third of the soup into a blender, whizz until smooth, then pour back into the pan along with the beans. Check for seasoning, then return to the heat and warm through. Serve sprinkled with the remaining thyme and some warm, crusty bread rolls.

'I left the Hearty winter veg soup to simmer while I did other jobs around the kitchen. The flavour and texture were great and it makes a brilliant freezer standby.'

  Made this twice, blitz a bit more than the recipe suggests. A keeper.

  Great, but I cooked it *way* longer than 15 minutes, to ensure that all the vegetables were soft. We used a can of kidney beans, a can of cannelini. Will make again & again -- but cooking for much longer! Also, we liked it more with very small pieces of veggies...

  Could someone let me know if this recipe could be made with Soya milk instead of cows as I have dairy allergies. Thank you

  This smelt great but I really didn't like it at all. No-one in my family liked it either.

  Very nutritious, but a little bit uninspiring. The blandness of the vegetables leaves the thyme somewhat overwhelming. Great for winter though.

  I have to agree with Deborah on this one, one very bad tasting soup!

  I agree with Deborah and Sandra. We followed it to the letter, but something happened along the way, it curdled and was revolting to taste. Won't try it again.
