Green Tomato Soup
serves 6

1 oz butter
1 lb green tomatoes, sliced (from patch)
8oz potatoes, peeled and sliced (from patch)
1 onion, chopped (challottes from patch)
2 pints stock
1 tin beans (barlotti, pinto or cannellini)
1/4 tsp mixed dried sage/thyme/mixed herbs/whatever (wife used Schwartz Season-all which has: Paprika, Chilli Pepper, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder, Celery Seed, Nutmeg, Coriander Seed, Cayenne Pepper)
salt and pepper
VERY good pinch of cayenne pepper

1. fry the tomatoes, potatoes and onion in butter until softened.

2. Add the beans, stock, herbs, rice, salt and pepper and bring to the boil.

3. Simmer for 30 mins or until the veg is tender.

4. Blend 2/3 of the soup and return to the pan (I like it a bit lumpy)

Leave to cool, then reheat to eat - better after leaving to cool then reheating

Add chunk of crusty granary bread and a lump of decent strong cheddar to drop in <slurp>

Thank you very much for that Kopperdrake. Just slightly confused with one part of it. In the preparation you mention "rice", but no mention of it in the ingredients.

Robbo.

Ah sorry

The original recipe had rice added (plus cream and chilli powder) but my wife decided to not add them as it seemed thick enough anyway and the beans more than made up for it
