Updated: 06 Aug 2016

Ingredients

  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 150g diced pancetta
  • 2 packs of 6 tomatoes, roughly chopped
  • 1.2l chicken stock made with two stock cubes
  • 2x tins cannellini beans
  • Parmesan cheese shavings
  • Chopped parsley to garnish
  • Optional basil

Method

  1. Saute the onions and pancetta for about 5 minutes until starting to turn golden.
  2. Add the tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add the stock, cannellini beans, basil if using, and simmer for 10-15 minutes.
  4. Use a blender to puree some of the soup - not all though, leave the texture quite chunky.
  5. Garnish with parmesan cheese shavings and chopped parsley. Serve.
