Chunky Vegetable & Pasta Soup

INGREDIENTS
  • 75 g Fatti’s & Moni’s Pasta Screws (Fusilli)
  • 75 g Fatti’s & Moni’s Small Pasta Shells (Conchigliette)
  • 30 ml oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 celery stalks and leaves, chopped
  • 3 carrots, chopped
  • 3 baby marrows, chopped
  • 1 can chopped tomatoes
  • 1 litre strong chicken stock (can be made with boiling water and stock cubes)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
METHOD
  1. In a large pot, heat the oil and fry the crushed garlic, onion and celery stalks until soft.
  2. Add carrots, baby marrows, tomatoes and chicken stock. Allow to cook for about 15 minutes – carrots should be softened.
  3. Add Fatti’s & Moni’s Pasta Screws and Small Pasta Shells and allow to cook for another 15 minutes, until pasta is tender. Season to taste before serving.
TIP: Keep a glass jar in the pantry and use it for storing the odd bits and pieces of pasta that get left over when you fi nish a packet. Use these leftover pasta pieces in a soup like this one.
