# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 160Fan/180ºC and get those veggies prepped.
02 - Toss the broccoli, courgette, pepper, leek, garlic, and thyme onto a big tray. Drizzle 2 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with seasoning, toss them around, and bake for 30 minutes, stirring every 10.
03 - Pat one butterbean can dry. Spread beans over a tray, drizzle 1 tbsp olive oil, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 25-30 mins until crisp.
04 - After veggies cool for 20 minutes, blend them with peas, most of the beans, basil, coconut milk, lemon juice, yeast, tahini, miso, and broth until you’ve got a smooth mix. Keep a few broccoli and peas aside to decorate later.
05 - Warm up the soup in a pot, pour into bowls. Add coconut yogurt, roasted beans, those saved veggies, a splash of oil, chili flakes, parmesan, or herbs. Dunk bread if you want!
