I was a bit bored by the thought of salad for lunch today and we had a couple of tins of cherry tomatoes in the house so I decided to make a "rustic" soup.
You will need the following for two generous servings with the stats as above:-
- 1 tin mixed beans (I used Morrisons mexican bean salad)
- 1 tin cherry tomatoes in juice
- 1 largeish courgette
- 1 medium/large red pepper
- 10g Coconut oil (or 10ml any plain oil otherwise)
- 1 good quality vegetable stock cube
- 120g good chorizo - this will make or break it
De-stalk and remove the seeds from the pepper. Chop the courgette and pepper into chunks you'd be happy eating in a mouthful of soup. Drop the chunks into a non-stick soup pan with the coconut oil and fry a little.

While the veggies are frying, remove any skin and chop the chorizo into chunks.

First, you gotta do the truffle shuffle! |
Add the chorizo to the veggies and toss until glossy and you can clearly smell the paprika aroma from the sausage.

Add
the tomatoes and break them up a bit, top up with a little water if
need be and add the stock cube. Cook for 5-10 minutes to reduce a
little. You want the courgette and pepper to retain their bite, so
don't over-cook at this stage.

Shiny, red, globes of juicy, delicious joy. |
Add the beans and heat through thoroughly.
Serve and enjoy!
