Ingredients:

- Add the cabbage and cannelloni beans and cook for another 10 mins

- If youāre using your ThermomixĀ© the soup will be ready in half the time
Notes:
We used Kallo organic vegetable stock (Ā£1.79 in most supermarkets) with excellent results.

- We used back bacon, but lardons or diced chorizo both work well. Leave the meat out all together for vegetarians and add in some pasta, rice or extra root vegetables.
- If you don’t have cannelloni beans in the larder, use borlotti or black beans.
- We used herb infused chopped tomatoes which add extra flavour. The Fresheno brand from Lidl is 37p for a 425ml tin.
