Taco soup

Taco soup

This three-tin wonder is so much greater than the sum of its parts – a fiery and warming soup that's hearty enough to please the whole family. It works well on its own, or as a base for extra toppings – we like tortillas for crunch!

Recipe

  1. Fry off your chopped onion in some olive oil over a medium heat until soft. Once soft, add in your garlic, your spices and your tomato puree and cook for another minute.

  2. Add in your chopped tomatoes and your stock and simmer on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

  3. Whizz the liquid up with a hand blender until smooth before adding your beans and sweetcorn. Simmer for a further 15 minutes.

  4. Season to taste and ladle into bowls with your choice of topping – we love fresh lime juice, coriander and tortilla chips.
