Try our low-cost minestrone soup. It's hearty and nutritious, as well as dairy free and high in fibre.
1 Heat the oil in a large saucepan and toss in the onion, garlic, celery and leek and stir until beginning to soften. Add the bacon, cook for 2 more minutes.
2 Add the other vegetables and cook over a gentle heat for around 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until vegetables begin to soften. Add the tomatoes, stock, sugar, salt and pepper and simmer for 10 minutes. If you like your soup vegetables very soft, cook them longer, but I like them to retain their texture. When the vegetables are tender add the beans, pasta and parsley and simmer a further 10 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent the pasta from sticking to the base of the pan. Taste and add salt or pepper as required.
Soup pasta is generally a very small pasta shape, but use whatever you have. Soups, like casseroles, often taste better the following day so take the leftovers to work for lunch.
