This soup is filling, warming and comforting. It’s super easy to make and relies mostly on store-cupboard ingredients.

Ingredients

  • 4 large British Lion eggs
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and finely chopped
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, crushed
  • 1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
  • 2 x 400g tins black beans
  • 400ml vegetable stock
  • a handful of parsley, roughly chopped
  • crusty bread, to serve

Method

1.    Heat a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat and add the onion, carrot and celery. Cook for 10 minutes, until starting to soften, then add the garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes.

2.    Add the chopped tomatoes, black beans and vegetable stock and simmer for 20 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season to taste.

3.    Crack the eggs into a small bowl, one at a time, then lower into the soup. Poach for 5 minutes. Season the eggs and scatter over the parsley before serving with crusty bread.

Cooks tips

You can add chopped bacon to the base for an extra punch of flavour.
