Method:
1. Slice the leeks and fry in butter or olive/coconut oil with a pinch of salt for 3-5 minutes per side and remove from the pan.
2. Fry the garlic with salt until browned (add more butter or oil here), add the shallots in for another 5 minutes until browning appears.
3. Add in the beans and chickpeas, followed by nutritional yeast.
4. In a jug add the bone broth and boil water together (about 400-500mL) and add to the pan, stirring to combine - allow to simmer for 5-7 minutes.

6. Allow it all to simmer together for 5 minutes while your toast crisps up - butter it up and enjoy!
