Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
  • 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 1 leek, sliced
  • 2 celery sticks, sliced
  • 1 tin chopped tomatoes or 400g passata
  • 1L reduced-salt vegetable stock
  • 1 tablespoon tomato purée
  • 50g sugar snap peas or green beans, sliced
  • 50g frozen peas
  • 40g dried pasta shapes
  • 1.5 teaspoon dried mixed herbs
  • 1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions

1

Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Add the onion, carrots, leek and celery, and fry gently for 3 or 4 minutes.

2

Add the tomatoes, tomato purée, beans, frozen peas and stock. Bring to the boil and add the pasta, herbs and pepper.

3

Lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes or until the pasta is cooked, stirring frequently to make sure the pasta doesn't stick.

4

Turn off the heat and leave to cool for a few minutes. Ladle into bowls and serve with a slice of wholemeal bread. Information: Chill any soup that you don't need and keep in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
