Tomato and white bean soup

• 1 onion (chopped)
• 1 × 400g tin chopped tomatoes
• 1 × 400g tin cannellini beans (drained, or butter beans)
• 400 ml vegetable stock (from 1 stock cube)
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• salt and black pepper (to taste)

Method

1. 1Warm the oil in a pan and cook the onion gently for about 5 minutes until soft.
2. 2Add the chopped tomatoes, beans and stock, then stir to combine.
3. 3Bring to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes, stirring now and then.
4. 4Blend until smooth for a smoother soup, or leave it chunky - both work.
5. 5Season to taste and serve, with bread on the side if you like.
