Garlic with Butter Beans and Red Pepper Soup

Free on Extra Easy and Green

Ingredients:

8 Cloves of Garlic, chopped
1 Onion, chopped
2 tins of Butter Beans
2 Red Peppers, chopped
1 Vegetable Stockpot
1 Herb Infusion Stockpot
1 Tblsp Hot Paprika
1 Litre of Water
Salt & Pepper to taste


Method:
1. Chop Onions, Red Peppers and Crush Garlic Cloves, add Butterbeans and Cannellini Beans.
2. Boil your water and add the Vegetable Stockpot and Herb Infusion Stockpot (or you can just add dried herbs (parsley, basil, thyme, rosemary) add the tablespoon of Hot Paprika. Pour over the above.
3. Bring to Boil then simmer until Red Peppers and Onions are cooked.
4. Either leave chunky or liquidise.
5. Add Salt and Pepper if required.
Note:
Adding Bacon lardoons is fabulous. Fry them in a pan, and add them to the soup before you serve it (this obviously stops it from being a vegetarian soup!). Also only free on Extra Easy.
If you use Smoked Bacon, you can dry fry it, then add it along with the Butter Beans etc to give this soup a smoky flavour.

Just made this soup. Im nor a fan of lentils or beans except baked beans. I used chicken stock instead of beef too and just put in pressure cooker then blitzed it. Omg it is GORGEOUS am nicely surprised and makes loads just gonna freeze some and take for lunches in work fills u up a lot too
 
I can't wait to try some of these soups :) really looking forward to the garlic, butterbean and red pepper one
 
Made a lovely, simple and very speedy soup tonight...so nice I had to make a 2nd batch for work this week!

I've started buying diced frozen onions for speedy dinners and in case of onion emergency (peeling onions is a kitchen pet hate!), but in tesco they also do frozen chopped onions, carrots and celery for stews and sauces. Well I bunged about quarter of a bag of that into a pan, one clove of garlic, a bit of oregano, a tin of chopped tomatoes, half a vegetable stock cube and one tin of boiling water...simmered, blended and BOOM! Absolutely yummy and so easy. Lots of speed veg and surprisingly filling.
 
I agree Helliecopter - frozen veg are an absolute godsend when you are in a rush (or just hate chopping onions!)

Leek & Potato Soup...

2 Leeks
500g Potatoes
1 Onion
900ml Chicken Stock (made with Knorr stock cubes)
3 Cloves Garlic
Salt & Pepper to Season.

The easiest way to make this yummy soup is slice the leeks, onion and cube the potatoes and peel the garlic and leave whole. Add the a large pan with 900ml chicken stock, season with salt & pepper, bring to the boil, simmer for 30 mins.

I always blend this soup as the potato makes it very thick & creamy ;)
 
You could freeze it without the egg and just add that after you have heated it through. Just make sure that the cooked chicken wasn't frozen previously.
 
I love bean soup

1 tin baked beans
1 tin of 5 bean salad
1 tin of lentils
1 tin of tomato
1 tin of butter beans
1 onion
celery chopped
carrots chopped
2 stock cubes
salt pepper and coriander
tomato puree
and a sprinkle of pearl barley

Through it in the slow cooker for hours and hours I also add 2 beef oxo cubes just add a bit of a meaty taste

Last me all week and it can be frozen
