My liquidiser broke a couple of weeks ago so it was imperative that I got another one. I chose the Russell Hobbs one because of the glass jug. My previous one was plastic and I think the hot soup I used it for caused the split in the collar near the blade. Some days I plan to make soup and pre-soak any beans I might be using. Some days I decide on the spur of the moment to make soup, that is when tins of beans come in handy. I recently used black beans and I ended up with soup that was an interesting shade of purple! Today I'm using borlotti beans...
This soup is very quick to make, onion; garlic, both roughly cut up; tin of beans; a squirt of tomato puree; a good glug of wine; pepper; and in this one, fish stock dissolved in about three quarters of a pint of hot water. You can add any other veg you have on hand but for quickness these ingredients here are all you need. Bring to the boil and simmer for about half an hour, let come off the boil then liquidise. A very tasty, quick soup for two. I can smell it now, ummmm, it amazes me how tasty bean soup is!
