Who’d have guessed that a couple of bags of frozen veg and a handful of fresh veg can make something so tasty and nutritious? Try this Soya Bean, Pea and Spinach Soup.

Rondal: Vegan

Serves 4

Cook time: 15 mins 

Ingredients

200g frozen soya beans


200g frozen peas


600ml hot vegetable stock


5 spring onions, trimmed and chopped


12 basil leaves


1 handful (about 60g/2oz) fresh baby spinach leaves


300ml soya milk

Several small basil leaves to finish (optional)

Method

1 Put the frozen beans and peas into a saucepan. Pour in the vegetable stock and add the spring onions, basil and spinach.

Food Ed’s tip: You’ll find the frozen soya beans next to the frozen peas in the supermarket.
