· 4 servings
Prep the ingredients
Wash and chop the vegetables. First, sauté the onion in a little oil, then after a moment add the carrot, celery and chopped garlic.
Simmer
Add the bay leaf, salt and pepper, then pour in water or stock. Simmer for about 15 minutes, then stir in the tomato purée and canned (or pre-cooked) legumes.
Finish cooking
Simmer for another 10–15 minutes, then finish with fresh herbs.
Tip
For a milder flavour, stir in some sour cream or yoghurt.
