1 tbsp rapeseed oil
2 large leeks , well washed, halved lengthways and finely sliced
700g carrots , chopped
1.4l hot reduced-salt vegetable bouillon (we used Marigold)

⅔ small pack tarragon , leaves roughly chopped

Steps:

Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large pan and fry the leeks and carrots for 5 mins to soften.
