Bacon,tomato,sweetcorn and broad bean soup
I made this soup today. It was delicious.
Vegans and veggies remove the bacon as the rest is all vegetable and very tasty. Next time round I will omit the bacon as it did make it quite salty. Two to four slices of bacon chopped 1 shake of mixed herbs 1 tin sainsburys cherry tomatoes 1 tin sweetcorn 1 tin broad beans 1 Kallo vegetable stock cube Fry bacon in a wok with the herbs. When it has cooked at tomatoes,sweetcorn and broadbeans. Stir about. Add vegetable stock. Simmer until everything is cooked. Liquidising is optional. I suppose you could use this as a sauce for rice or pasta or even a casserole sauce for sausages. I have a lot left and I think I will make pasta for supper tonight. |

That stock cube is packed with salt aswell! A basic home made chicken stock would do the job much better. That way you can enjoy the bacon too

marigold stock is delish (and can be vegan) - it makes a really good hot drink and is only 12 calories!!
Soup sounds great |

But why all the tins? I like to use fresh when I cook and think it is sad when recipes give you a tin of this and a tin of that. In my book it isn't cooking but assembling

Fresh comes from Kenya or Peru in the supermarkets. I don't buy products more travelled than I am. |

I buy tins as it is cheaper. Broad beans are also hard to find in the supermarket unless they are tinned.
Fresh comes from Kenya or Peru in the supermarkets. I don't buy products more travelled than I am. If you can get Waitrose/Ocado, they do 750g bags of frozen baby broad beans which are really nice and only £1.38. Last ages and UK sourced too. Sorry got a bit addicted to broad beans this year (I grew some too). Might have to try your recipe, sounds lovely. |

I only had broadbeans for the first time the other week when I made Hannibal Lecter's meal of Lamb Chops, Fava Beans and Baked Potato
![]() I got them frozen from Asda for £1. Tesco are the same price. Btw, the soup sound good. I might try it as I have frozen broadbeans and frozzen sweetcorn. I also have some serrano ham so may posh it up a bit
