Directions

  • Heat a good glug of olive oil in a heavy bottomed casserole dish. Add a diced white onion, 2 carrots chopped up into 1cm cubes, 3 celery sticks sliced. Fry on a medium heat until soft, about 12 minutes. Add 1 tsp garlic butter seasoning and the 3 chopped garlic cloves.
  • Once the veg is soft, add one can chopped tomatoes, 75g tomato puree and a pint of boiling water. Mix in the puree until dissolved. Then after 2 more minutes add the chopped-up ham and 3 tsp of A&O Garlic & Herb Italian seasoning. Let this bubble away on a low/medium heat for 10 minutes with the lid on.
  • You can now add the beans, cabbage or Kale and again close the lid for another couple of minutes until the greens have had a chance to cook in and soften up.
  • In a separate pan boil some pasta and add in the amount you’d like to the soup. Sprinkle a little cheese and mop up the juices with a slice of butter bread.
