Our twist on the classic tomato soup has a little spice, a little crunch and some black beans. These are filled with iron, magnesium and calcium and add extra texture to the warming winter soup.

Ingredients

Pancetta

64 g, (4 x 20g slices), fat trimmed

Olive oil

2 tsp

Brown onion

1 medium, finely chopped

Fresh rosemary

1 tbs, finely chopped

Dried chilli flakes

¼ tsp

Garlic

1 clove(s), crushed

Tomato puree

410 g, can

Tomato(es)

500 g, chopped

Carrot(s)

Canned black beans, rinsed, drained

1 400g can

Fresh basil

⅓ cup(s)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook pancetta for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Remove from pan. When cool enough to handle, tear into large pieces.
