Kale, pasta and cannellini bean soup
Stay warm with a hearty bowl of veg-packed cannellini bean soup, ready in just 40 minutes. With pasta, kale, fresh herbs and zesty lemon, it'll definitely hit the spot after a busy day. You can make ahead and freeze for when you're in need of an extra speedy dinner.
- Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onions, carrots and chopped garlic and cook for 15 mins until soft and caramelised.
- Stir in the passata, kale, beans (mash a few first if you prefer a thicker soup), rosemary and stock. Simmer for 10 mins; season. Add the pasta and simmer for 10 mins more.
- Meanwhile, heat 1 tbsp oil in a small saucepan over a low heat. Add the sliced garlic and cook for 3-4 mins until lightly browned and crispy, then tip into a small bowl.
- Divide the soup between bowls and top with the parsley and crispy garlic. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
Tip: Make it vegan by using a stock pot instead of a cube.
