It is most definitely soup weather! It is cold and wet and this soup is perfect for a very quick nutritious meal. We haven’t had the snow here like the South of the UK, but we had a smattering earlier in the week which was enough for the boys to make snowballs with! 😀 I don’t know how the snow normally is where you are, but generally we don’t get loads, and if we do, it’s all slushy within a few hours! Anyway, whether you have snow, ice, wind, rain, cold or a glimpse of weak sunshine, this soup is the perfect warming dish to make for a quick lunch or dinner!
If you think you can’t be bothered to cook, think again! This was on the table in less than ten minutes! So, you could: open the fridge and stare at the contents; get a packet of soup and boil the kettle, or make this delicious soup! 😀 You just need passata, tinned chickpeas, spices, seasoning and an easy cook grateable vegetable such as a courgette, carrot or savoy cabbage. That’s it! Yes, it really is that easy! 😀
Get this delicious soup on the table in less than ten minutes!
- 1 carton passata
- 2 tins chickpeas (with liquid)
- 1 medium courgette (or other quick cook veg)
- 1-2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules
- Salt to taste
- Black Pepper to taste
-
Tip the passata into a large pan, then refill the container with water and add to the pan. Turn the heat to medium-high.
-
Add the chickpeas and their liquid to the pan, stir.
-
Using a fine grater, grate the courgette straight into the pan.
-
Sprinkle the paprika, and garlic in, season with salt and pepper, cover and leave to simmer for 5-10 minutes. Serve.
-
Enjoy!
- You can add any vegetables you like which are quick cook – try courgette, carrot, savoy cabbage, beansprouts, peppers.
- Add a bit of chilli powder or chilli flakes to make this a bit spicier.
- Serve with some fresh bread – or add a handful of croutons.
- Throw in some frozen veg if you want a more vegetable based soup – a cupful of peas, sweetcorn or even okra would work well.
- Store refrigerated for up to three days.
