Instructions:

1. Deseed and quarter the peppers, roughly smash the garlic cloves in a pestle and mortar. Halve the onions.
2. Heat the oil in a wide-based saucepan, and then add the peppers, garlic and onions. Keep stirring, cook through on a medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the onion is starting to soften.
3. Add the beans (including their liquid) and the vegetable stock to the pan. Stir well and simmer for 25 minutes.
4. You can leave the soup as it is, or blitz it in a blender or food processor. Season with salt and pepper, serve with some crusty white bread.
