This should really be called “Amazing Soup”, its basically a tomato soup with some vegetables in it and it is so tasty! I am not a bean lover and I was dubious about trying this recipe at first but it was love at first mouthful when I made this and I know it will be a recipe that will be made time and again in my house.

It’s a hearty, healthy soup and a side of bread is essential.

Prep: 10 minutes

Cook: 20 minutes

Serves: 6-8

Ingredients

• 1 tbs oil
• 2 onions, diced
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 200 g bacon, diced
• 2 tbs tomato paste
• 400 g potatoes, diced
• 2 tsp sugar
• 2 x 400 g tins diced or crushed tomatoes
• 2 or 3 x 400 g tins four bean mix (I like tomato soup so I only add 2, but bean lovers should add 3)

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium high heat, add the onions and bacon and cook until they have softened.
2. Add the potatoes and cook for a further 3 minutes.
3. Add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute whilst stirring.
4. Add the rest of the ingredients except for the four bean mix. Cover and let simmer until the potatoes are cooked through.
5. Add the four bean mix and cook until heated through.
