Welcome to my vegetable pasta bowls in the soup maker.
I don’t know about you but I love pasta. Not the wholemeal pasta as I think it is horrible (from what I have tried) but the real starchy white stuff that every nutrition on the planet would love to stop production of.
I have grown up (like many other kids) on macaroni cheese, spaghetti bolognese, lasagne and of course tuna pasta.
My opinion on the naughty pasta is that as long as you are only eating it 1-2 times a week and you are having something healthy in the dish (such as loads of veg) to balance it out, then it is not going to kill you!
When I make pasta (especially lasagne) I find that you spend hours and hours with the preparation and it can put me off making it.
However make it as a nice stew style soup and you can have it all prepared and cooking away in a couple of minutes.
This recipe can also be adapted depending on what ingredients that you have in and what you’re in the mood for.

What is a soup maker machine?

Hi Myrna,
A soup maker or soup machine is a kitchen gadget used to make soup with. They are common around the world and makes it so easy to make soup, smoothies and sauces. Here is one similar to the one we have: https://www.recipethis.com/morphy-richards-48822-black-soupmaker/

I have just made this and found that it would benefit from some extra stock as it was quite thick. I was also unsure what size tin of tomatoes I should use as it was I used a large tin. The wine gave it a nice flavour I also used tomato sauce as a condiment which added sweetness
Samantha and Dominic says
Hi J,
I used a 450g large can of tinned tomatoes and it would perfectly. Or you can of course use little cans.
Kind Regards
Sam
