    Easy minestrone soup

    Preparation time Cooking time


    less than 30 mins 30 mins to 1 hour

    Serves
    Serves 4

    A great way to use up all those odds and ends from the fridge. Raw root
    vegetables, leafy veg, cooked leEover vegetables, pasta and rice can all be
    thrown into the pan. Just make sure they are added in the right order, so
    raw vegetables that need a bit of cooking go in first, then green vegetables
    and finally cooked ingredients. Top the cooked soup with any cheese you
    have handy or spoonfuls of pesto.

    1 onion, finely chopped


    1–2 sticks celery, trimmed and thinly sliced (optional)
    400g/14oz tin chopped tomatoes
    1 chicken or vegetable stock cube
    1 tsp dried mixed herbs or dried oregano
    roughly three mugs of assorted vegetables (could include raw or cooked
    vegetables, such as carrots, celery, courgette, leek, peas or cabbage,
    peeled and cut into small chunks)
    400g/14oz tin borlotti or cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
    ½–1 mug cooked pasta or rice
    Parmesan, or other cheese, grated (if you have a leEover parmesan rind, it
    can be used to flavour the soup too!)
    salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Method
    1. Pour the oil into a large non-stick saucepan or flameproof casserole.
    Add the onion and celery, if using, and fry gently for 5 minutes, or

    2. Add the chopped tomatoes and refill the tomatoes tin twice with
    cold water and pour into the pan. Add the chicken or vegetable stock
    cube. Add the dried mixed herbs or oregano (along with the
    parmesan rind if using). Add any hard, raw vegetable pieces, such as
    carrot, parsnip, squash or potato and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5
    minutes, stirring occasionally.
    3. When the harder vegetables have soEened, add the raw green
    vegetables, such as small broccoli florets, shredded kale or cabbage,
    green beans and courgette. Simmer for 3 minutes more, stirring
    occasionally.
    4. Add any cooked vegetables or beans you are adding with the cooked
    pasta or rice. Simmer for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season
