The butter beans add a nutty flavour to the soup as well as thickening it.
Heat the oil in a pan and soften the garlic in it. Add the spinach and butter beans with liquid from the can and 300ml of the stock. Simmer for 15 minutes, then blend, sieve, or put through a food processor.
Add the remaining stock and reheat. Garnish with strips of lemon rind and serve fairly soon as the soup will lose colour if left to stand.
