Looking to make a quick and simple nutritious soup?

Here’s one I threw together last night with some odds and ends you might already have in your pantry.

Ingredients

3 onions (chopped)

1 can of baked beans

1 packet of Cream of Chicken soup powder or Brown onion soup (or whatever flavour you want)

4 slices of bread

Method

Fry the onions in butter, in your soup pot, until they are translucent. Add the can of baked beans and mix in well. Toss in the packet of soup powder and mix in well. Add boiling water a little at a time, stirring it in well until you have the desired consistency. Stir well and let that simmer.

Soak the slices of bread in milk. You can get this going beforehand, if you like, but it doesn’t take long for bread to absorb milk. Break the bread up with your hands and add to the soup. This gives the soup more body and adds interest to your meal. Stir the bread in well and simmer your soup until its done.

This makes a delicious soup with lots of interesting bits in it!
