Tomato and Bean Soup

Tomato soup is one of my favorites soups and as a child I was so thrill eating it! now as an adult, it hasn't changed much:)
A dish of soup could be so nourishing and could be eaten as a whole meal.
So this soup that I've made is very simple because I've been cheating:) You probably know how it feels to come back home after a long day at work, hungry with low energies, so sometimes you have to use those shortcuts. Of-coarse I always prefer to eat and cook with fresh ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 can cubed tomatoes
• 1 fresh peeled and chopped tomato
• about 1 cup of frozen white beans
• 1 stick of celery
• chopped parsley for your taste, I used a handful

• 1 chopped onion
• 1 garlic clove crushed and chopped
• about 500 ml of chicken stock or vegetable or water or a mixture of stock and water
• pinch of sugar
• 1 tbs vinegar
• black pepper and salt for your taste
