Tomato, Bean and Kale Soup

This soup is really easy to make, and doesn't take long.  It's delicious.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 Onions, chopped
2 Cloves garlic, crushed
1 Leek, sliced lengthways and chopped
4 carrots, sliced or diced
Green beans, topped and tailed and sliced into 2 cm pieces
5 tomatoes, chopped ( or a tin of tomatoes )
A load of Kale, chopped
About 300g cooked beans (Flageolet, Borlotti, Haricot etc.)
Salt
1 tsp dried sage
1 Chilli, seeded and chopped
A kettle full of boiling water

This is easy peasy to make.  Just add the ingredients into the pan in the order listed.  i.e. start chopping the onions, then add them and the oil to the pan and cook on a low light while the soften.  Then crush the garlic, and add it, the slice the leek etc.

By the time you've added the water, it only takes about 15-20 minutes.  The carrot should be 'just cooked'.  It might feel undercooked, but it keeps the flavour and texture.

Serves 4-6
