One of the Best Quotes I’ve heard, from your introduction: “Tomato soup is one of those dishes you can’t have as a meal on its own. By the time you get up from the table you have to pee and afterwards you realise it must have been the tomato soup because you’re still damn hungry.” – I love it – And I bought Barlotti bearns the other day and didn’t know what to do with them! NOW I have a recipe to try —- Will let you know! Thanks for the quote! Brought a HUGE smile to my face! x

This sounds delicious and satisfying! Borlottis are a new bean for me. I’m guessing cannellini beans would work too. Another way to roast the garlic is to just wrap the unpeeled cloves tightly in foil [with a little olive oil or not] and roast for about 45 minutes. You can also slice off the very top of the head of garlic, wrap it in foil and roast it like that for about 45 minutes. Either way, you can just squeeze the soft roasted garlic from the peels.
