Top tips
-
Varying the ingredients: You can switch up the vegetables if you like – try green beans instead of peas and butternut squash, sweet potato or red pepper instead of carrot and courgette.
-
Dice everything very finely: You want your veggies to be finely diced; it’s worth spending a little extra time cutting them up small as this will make the soup more enjoyable to eat.
-
Cook gently: Fry the vegetables gently and simmer the soup over a low-medium heat. The goal is to cook everything gently – you don’t want the veggies to be browned at the frying stage or the soup to be boiled, just a gentle simmer.
-
Storing: The soup should be stored in the fridge to eat over the course of a couple of days, or it can be portioned up and stored in the freezer.
FAQs
-
Can I omit the baked beans or substitute for regular beans: We recommend keeping the baked beans in because the tomato sauce that they come in adds flavour to the soup, however you can substitute for a drained tin of white beans or kidney beans if that is all you have on hand.
-
Can I double the recipe for meal prep? Absolutely! Soups are great for meal prep because you can make a big batch and then portion it up and pop each portion in a Tupperware in the freezer. Double this recipe for 8-12 portions.
