Easy Tomato Soup Recipe

This recipe makes 10 generous servings.

You'll need:

• 1 onion, diced small
• 1 tbs oil
  
• 5 large ripe tomatoes
• 1 bunch parsley, chopped finely
• Either 2 cans of red kidney beans or 1 cup dry soup mix beans or lentils soaked in 3 cups of water, softened and ready to cook
  
• 1 1/2 cups white wine
• 3 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 cup cream
• 1 cup milk
• 3 weetbix

Here's how to put together the soup from scratch and it is just too easy for words.

• If you're making soup from the dried lentils, be sure to soak them overnight so they're ready for the soup when you start to cook
  
• In your roomy soup pot, heat a tablespoon of good quality olive or rice bran oil. Toss in the diced onions and cook till softened.
• Toss in all the diced tomatoes and parsley and cook till softened.
• Pour in the white wine and stock bring to the boil then toss in the beans.
• Bring to the boil again then lower heat to simmer for about 30 minutes till the beans are softened
• Use a hand held blender and smoosh it all together
  
• Stir through the cream and milk taking care not to boil the soup.
• If the soup needs thickening, add in the crumbled weetbix. Bring to the boil while stirring.
• Serve hot, with a dollop of greek yoghurt and garnish with chives or spring onions
