Jane,
Hope my recipe comes in time for your "I've ogt some of these due off the production loine shortly so would be most grateful for a brief recipe. please", as I was 99.9% sure I never said that?!!
So, here it goes:

BUTTERBEAN & CELERIAC SOUP

Serves 4
Freezing Recommended

500g fresh butterbeans
1 litre vegetable stock
2 onions, chopped
1 teasp caraway seeds
2 tblsps chopped fresh parsley
up to a pint milk, as needed for consistency required for finished soup
S & P

Saute the onion, celeriac, caraway seeds & parsley.
Add beans & stock & simmer till beans tender.
Allow to cool a little then puree the soup. Add milk, adjust seasoning. Reheat gently but don't boil if serving now, or just bung in freezer after the adding milk & S&P stage.
Oh, and I'd add Creme Fraiche or Cream at the last minute for extra richness......
Et Voila!

Thanks for the Butter Bean T&M info. You're a star!
Will PM you re: France!
