I went for my version of Ribollita as my meal for the next few days.
So
1/2 bag each of Tesco's Soup and Broth mix (dry bean stuff- bag is 59p)
1/2 bag of Morrison's Exotic Bean Mix (£1 here)
3 or 4 Sainsbury's Basic Veg cubes (10p for 10)
A fair bit of Oregano and Paprika, and ground black pepper (the expensive part of the meal- I think I used about 3 teaspoons of Oregano/ Paprika- but make it to taste I guess)
2 onions
4 cloves of garlic
4 carrots
6 radishes
1 tin Kidney beans
Saute the garlic, onion, radish, carrots (all diced/ minced) med heat for 10-20mins. Add spices in, cook for a couple more mins. Add the Broth mix and bean mix and cook for 5 more mins. Crumble in stock cubes. Add enough water to more than cover (like 2/3 inches above the beans- you want a soup, not a stew). Cook for 90+ mins till everything is soft and crumbly. Blitz the Kidney beans in a blender, and then add to the soup. Cook for another 60 mins or so.
Let Cool.
Reheat and enjoy a sweet, semi-spicy Italian treat. Ideally with some home-made foccacia.
In an ideal world I'd have brought more Kale from home and just added that into the bowl at serving, but I don't have any left!
