Steps:
- In a blender purée the beans in batches with the tarragon and the broth and strain the purée through a fine sieve into a bowl, pressing hard on the solids. In a large saucepan cook the leek, the garlic, and the red pepper flakes in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the leek is softened and begins to turn golden. Add the purée, the half-and-half, the lemon juice, and salt to taste and simmer the soup, stirring, for 5 minutes.
Tips:
- Mise en place: To ensure a smooth cooking process, prepare all the ingredients before you start cooking. Chop the vegetables, measure the spices, and gather the necessary equipment.
- Choose fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the flavor of the soup. Use fresh spinach and leeks, and select plump, creamy white beans.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming soggy.
- Season to taste: Throughout the cooking process, taste the soup and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt, pepper, or herbs until you achieve the desired flavor.
- Garnish before serving: For an extra touch of flavor and visual appeal, garnish the soup with fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese before serving.
