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

Cook time: 15 mins
Ingredients
200g frozen soya beans
200g frozen peas
600ml hot vegetable stock

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.
