I made a soup last night, it's a really easy one to throw together and very warming. Good for veggies, too.

 

Here's it is:

 

Spicy Bean & Tomato Soup

 

Serves: Two hungry people

 

Tablespoon of Olive Oil

 

400g can red kidney beans, rinsed and drained

(or any pulse: last night, I used a mix of kidney and cannellini beans. Haricot beans would be great too)

 

400g tinned Chopped Tomatoes

 

1 medium/large onion, chopped

 

2 garlic cloves (or a generous sprinkle of dried chopped garlic, if you're me!)

 

Half-a-pint of Vegetable (or Chicken) Stock

 

Teaspoon each of the following dried spices: cumin*, coriander*, paprika*, tumeric*

 

Pinch of cayenne pepper*

 

2 heaped teaspoons of tomato puree (not essential)

 

Salt and pepper to season

 

* If you don't have all these, don't worry. Improvisation is the key to everything I cook!

 

 

Method

 

* Fry onions and garlic until soft.

* Add all other ingredients

* Bring to boil

* Cover and simmer for 20 mins

* Et voila! Serve with some lovely chunks of bread (garlic bread is especially good with this soup)

Evening all :)

 

Has anyone got a recipe for soup that contains lots of jalapenos or other hot chillis?, I'm talking dynamite hot - monster, monster, monster, been after one for ages!

 

Why don't you experiment with my soup that I posted previously? Chop some jalapenos and/or chillis then fry them with the onions and garlic, and add some extra cannenne pepper or chilli powder :smile2:
