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 carrot
  • 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


You could also use this recipe from Food.com

Directions:


  1. Fry onion, garlic and carrot, celery and beans in a pot until onion is soft, about 5 minutes
  2. Add the fresh tomato stir and cook for about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the canned tomatoes and cook for a bout 3 minutes than add the stock  season with salt and pepper. Bring to boil and let simmer covered for 30 minutes.
  4. Stir in the parsley and cook uncovered for 3 more minutes.
