Fast day bean and vegetable soup


It's cold.
It's winter.
And that calls for a hearty dinner.

Soup!

Here's what I did and you can do it too - 

chop 200 g peeled butternut pumpkin (squash.
chop 1 large peeled carrot.
slice 1 large leek (wash the leek really well)

Put them all in a big pot with 1250ml water and 400g tinned tomatoes. You can use vegetable stock if you have some, I just use a couple of teaspoons of vegeta powder.

Bring to a boil.
cook for 15 mins or until the carrot is softish.

Add a cup of chopped spinach (I used silverbeet) and a can of mixed beans (drained and rinsed).

Cook for a few more minutes until the spinach is wilted.

Add a handful of chopped fresh herbs (I used parsley and basil) 


This serves 4.
