Recipe Ingredients

1		Onion - choped fine (large)
2		Garlic - crushed
1		Green chile - (optional)
1		Broccoli
1		Courgette/zucchini - sliced (medium)
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Chopped skinned tomatoes
1 teaspoon	5ml	Mixed herbs
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Marjoram
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Basil
1		Butter beans - (the big ones
		Also called lima beans?)
1/4 cup	59ml	Rich vegetable stock
1/4 cup	59ml	Soy milk
250		Soy yoghurt
1		Lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Pepper
1/4 cup	15g / 0.5oz	Corn
1 tablespoon	15ml	Tomato puree

Recipe Instructions

Fry the onion, garlic and chile in a little water or olive oil. Add the base and stalks of the broccoli (i.e. everything except the flowerets), and the courgettes. When all this has softened sufficiently add the tomatoes and the herbs. Leave to simmer (covered) for fifteen minutes.

While that is underway combine the beans, stock, soy milk, yoghurt, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a liquidiser until a smooth mixture is obtained. After the fifteen minutes are up add the bean mixture and simmer uncovered for a further five minutes. Add the corn and then enough tomato puree to take away the anaemic look. Serve on its own or with a macaroni style pasta.
