Fresh borlotti bean soup

Let's just say this soup was SOOOOO good, I ate the whole pot and forgot to take a picture!! Picked up some fresh borlotti beans on holiday and got cooking some of them today. They take about 35mins to cook in water - don't add any salt - then simply add to this recipe. I usually can't get fresh so just use canned - about half a can - of any beans you choose.

1 leek, chopped
1 courgette, diced
100g cooked borlotti beans
juice of half a lemon
pinch of chilli flakes
500ml veg stock
1/2 bag of spinach

Cook the veg in stock with lemon juice and chilli flakes - add the beans when it comes to the boil and cook for about 10 mins until the leeks are done. Add spinach, stir to wilt and serve. Did I mention this is SOOOO good??!!
