METHOD

1

Soften the base

Cook onion and carrot in oil for eight minutes. Add garlic and paprika and stir for one minute.

2

Build the soup

Pour in tomatoes and stock. Bring to the boil and simmer for ten minutes.

3

Add the pasta

Tip in the beans and pasta. Cook for the packet time, stirring often so nothing sticks.

4

Adjust and serve

Loosen with extra stock if too thick. Finish with olive oil and cracked pepper.

VEG.ARMY TIP

Save the rind from a wedge of plant parmesan and simmer it in the soup — pure umami.
