Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 oz Into strips
  • 1 can Kidney beans
  • 1 can Canned tomatoes
  • 3 Carrots
  • 3 stalks Celery
  • 1 Tbsp Thyme leaves
  • 3 large cloves Garlic
  • 3 1/2 oz .5 oz. macaroni
  • 1 Tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 large Onion
  • 8 servings Some parmesan to serve
  • 8 servings Salt and pepper
  • 1/4 Savoy cabbage
  • 2 Tbsps Tomato purée
  • 2 large Tomatoes into 8ths
  • 1 1/4 qt Vegetable stock

Directions

  1. 1

    Heat the oil in a very large pan that has a close fitting lid. Then add the celery, bacon, onion, carrot and garlic. Fry this off for about 5 to 7 minutes until it has softened a little. No colour is needed on the vegetables, so make sure the heat isnt too high that they become brown, but high enough the vegetables sweat and soften.

  2. 2

    Add the tomato pure and the thyme leaves, stir through and cook for about 30 seconds.

  3. 3

    Add the stock, the tin of tomatoes, fresh tomatoes, and a little salt and pepper. Stir everything through, set the heat so that your soup is on a gentle simmer, cover and cook for about 25 minutes or until the vegetables are cooked al dente.

  4. 4

    Add the pasta and cook until the pasta is ready. Follow the timing instructions on the packet, but this is normally about 7 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the cabbage and the beans and cook until the cabbage has wilted. This will take about 5 minutes.Check for seasoning and add some salt and pepper if needed before serving.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle a little parmesan over each bowl of soup.
