A delicious heart-warming winter soup that’ll have the whole family asking for more. Quick and easy and suitable to freeze as a healthy option for those nights you don’t feel like cooking. Warm up your insides and indulge your senses with this delicious soup.


Ingredients (serves 8)

  • 1 kilo Truss Tomatoes (without stalk)
  • 200g Shortcut Bacon
  • 500g Orange Sweet Potato
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 Large Onion Diced
  • 1 Tbsp Crushed Garlic (in jar)
  • 1/3 cup Plain Flour
  • 3/4 cup (28g) Fresh Basil Shredded
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Salt-reduced Beef Stock Powder
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 6 cups Water
  • 1 x 400g Can White Beans Drained and Rinsed

Method

  1. Remove stems from tomatoes, then score a cross at the base with a sharp knife. Place in boiling water for 30 seconds then remove. Peel off the skin then dice and leave to one side. Trim any fat from bacon, then dice.
  2. Peel sweet potatoes, then dice. In a large boiler that has been coated generously with cooking spray, sauté bacon and onion for 4 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and sweet potatoes and toss together well. Cook a further 3 minutes. Add flour and combine well. Add all remaining ingredients except beans. Once boiled, reduce to a moderate/slow boil for 30 minutes or until sweet potatoes are soft. Roughly mash with a potato masher. Lastly add beans.

Notes

Variation: For a vegetarian option, omit bacon and replace beef stock powder with 4 teaspoons salt-reduced vegetable stock powder. Suitable to be frozen. DIETITIAN’S TIP: Tomatoes contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant that is even more after cooking. They also contain nutrients that have an antithrombotic and anti-inflammatory function, so they are an ideal heart health food.

  • Sounds good ! I would do it without the bacon, more and fresh garlic and lentil flour instead of plain flour.
