Easy minestrone soup

INGREDIENTS : 

- 50g small pasta pieces or pasta for soup

- 500g carton of passata or 1 large can (400g) chopped tomatoes

- 350g frozen mixed vegetables

- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

- 1 teaspoon bouillon powder

- 1 teaspoon dried mixed herbs or 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, finely chopped

- 800ml water 

        METHOD :

1. Add all the ingredients to a large pan.

2. Bring to the boil stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn’t stick to the bottom.

3. Turn the heat down and simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes until the pasta is cooked.

4. Stir well before serving. 

         Freezing soup :

•Soup is ideal for freezing. Once it has cooled down to room temperature, pop it into a plastic box or freezer bag, make sure it is securely fastened and keep it in the freezer until you need it. Having a home-made meal you have put in the freezer is the same as having a frozen ready meal – but without the high cost or added salt, fat and sugar! 

Enjoy it .
