Minestrone Soup

Another recipe which comes with an apology to my Italian friends!

Lightly fry a finely chopped onion in olive oil and add 2 carrots and 1 celery stick (both finely chopped).

Continue to fry for about 10 minutes.

Pour in 500ml of vegetable stock then pour in one cup of frozen peas and 1 cup of frozen baby broad beans.

Stir in 1 tin of chopped tomatoes and a handful of chopped basil.

Simmer for 1 hour.

We had some wholewheat spaghetti left from Bolognaise earlier in the week so, before serving, we stirred that through the soup. Otherwise cook the spaghetti fresh. Cook enough pasta for a large serving for 1 person.

We had the soup with garlic and herb bread and cheesy-bloomer.
