Bean and cicoria soup {vegan}
Certes, c’est enfin le printemps depuis quelques semaines mais comme dit le dicton : « en avril ne te découvre pas d’un fil » (allez hop elle nous fait sa mamie là !), bref tout ça pour dire qu’il y a encore des journées bien moches, pluvieuses et fraiches donc une petite soupe c’est pas de refus ma p’tite dame ! Et là ça n’est pas juste une soupe de haricots, non, non, non, c’est une soupe avec un ingrédient magique (ne pensez pas à la licorne ça ne sert à rien !)… de la cicoria ou comprenez chicorée si vous n’avez pas fait d’italien dans votre vie (je parle de la langue bien évidemment !). And this chicory you may have seen it on Top Chef during the test with Pierre Gagnaire if you looked closely ! Anyway, let's go back to our sheep our soup, to tell you that this little bean soup nourishes your man well and that it will be perfect after returning from hiking/jogging/gym…
If you can't find chicory (I wouldn't blame you), you can replace it with dandelions (That’s good, it’s the season) or at worst with kale (it's still in fashion then…). Good soup my darlings !
