• Finely chop garlic.
• In a large pot or saucepan, heat a good drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• When oil is hot, add soffritto mix and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened,
2-3 minutes.
• Add a drizzle more olive oil, garlic, Italian herbs (see ingredients) and a pinch
of chilli flakes (if using). Cook, stirring until fragrant, 2 minutes.
• Pour red kidney beans (including the liquid!) into the pan with the veggies.
• Add diced tomatoes with garlic & onion, the water, stock concentrate and the
brown sugar and stir to combine.
• Simmer until slightly reduced, 15 minutes.
TIP: The bean liquid helps season and thicken the soup!
• Meanwhile, preheat the grill to high. Slice bake-at-home ciabatta in half
lengthways and place, cut-side up, on a lined oven tray. Spread with basil pesto
and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
• When the soup has 5 minutes cook time remaining, place ciabatta under the
grill, until the cheese is melted and bubbling, 3-5 minutes.
• Just before serving the soup, add baby spinach leaves and stir until just wilted.
• Divide the Tuscan veggie bean soup between bowls.
• Crumble with marinated goat cheese.
• Serve with cheesy pesto toast. Enjoy!
