Ingredients:

Serving

three 19-oz cans white beans , rinsed well in a sieve
1/4 tsp dried tarragon
2 cups chicken broth
2 cups thinly sliced washed white and pale green part of leek
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp dried hot red pepper flakes , or to taste
3 tbsp olive oil
3/4 cup half-and-half
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

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.
