White Bean and Butter Bean Soup

Love beans? then this easy to prepare soup is for you. White Bean and Butter Bean Soup is a simple dish of cannellini beans, butter beans and spinach cooked in a simple flavourful broth with pork jowls and anchovies.

Its freestyle day today and I haven’t done this for a while, got tired of cooking dishes over the holiday period so today there were no actual menu plan at home, and I just gathered what I can see from my pantry and freezer. Got hold of a couple of bean cans, some spinach on the fridge and pork jowls on the freezer and made this soup recipe for today. Not perfect for our weather now here in New Zealand as it is in the middle of summer, but I love soups, also in the Northern Hemisphere this can be useful as it can warm your cold winter nights.
