Tomato and Bean Soup

Submitted by kolibri

"This is one of those make loads and eat for days recipes - easy and tasty. If you absolutely must, you can use canned tomatoes - but only if you can't get fresh tomatoes. I got the original recipe from Australian Women's Weekly Low Fat Meals in Minutes book."

 

• Ready In: 1hr 5mins
• Ingredients: 8
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 large yellow onion
• garlic clove, crushed (to taste, personally I put in a whole bulb)
• 1 kg tomatoes, ripe, chopped coarsely
• 500 ml chicken stock
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 dash Tabasco sauce (or to taste)
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 800 g beans, canned, different varieties

directions

1. Fry onion and garlic in a pan, until onion is soft.
2. Stir in the chopped tomatoes, stir more until tomatoes are soft.
3. Add stock and the sauces, bring to boil and let simmer covered for 30 minutes. If you like your tomato soup smooth, you can blend the soup after this point. I like mine chunky.
4. Stir in parsley and the beans. Simmer uncovered for five minutes or so, until the beans are hot.

I used frozen tomatoes from the garden, 6 cloves of garlinc, 1 can each of Great Northern and Black beans and 2 bullion cubes with water for the stock. I served it over rice and we all liked it. I'm looking forward to trying more variations

This soup has a wonderful combination of flavors! I used all fresh ingredients and used the whole bulb. I added a 1/4 cup of orzo. I used a combination of Northern Beans, Black eyed peas and pink beans. I love the fact that you can easily change the soup by adding different beans.

I used tomatoes from the garden and beans from the farm box. I did opt to run it through the blender to make it less chunky. Next time I will keep the tomatoes, chicken stock and beans the same, but double everything else. We want to taste those flavors more.

Very chunky soup! Really nice flavour combination- I used a lot of tabasco and it worked really well with the beans and tomatoes. I used a can of black beans and a can of mixed (garbanzo, kidney, black eyed, romano), also canned stewed tomatoes and half a bulb of garlic. Very good, everyone enjoyed it.
