Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Toast the cumin seeds briefly in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Spoon in the paprika and coriander, then tip in  2½ cans of beans along with their liquid, the tomatoes, tomato purée, bouillon, garlic and 500ml water. Cover and leave to simmer for 15 mins.
  2. Step 2

    Meanwhile, stir the ingredients for the raita together in a bowl.
  3. Step 3

    Blitz the cooked beans using a hand blender until completely smooth, then stir in the remaining beans and return to the boil. Serve half and top with half the raita, a chopped avocado and some extra coriander. Leave the remaining soup to cool, then chill for another day. Will keep chilled for four days; the raita will keep for two days. Reheat the soup in a pan over a low-medium heat until piping hot.
