Quick and easy Tomato and basil soup

This Tomato and basil soup is very tasty, but also full of healthy hidden goodies! 🙂
It’s a soup I make when I need to put on a quick lunch etc, that I know the kids will eat, and its also tasty enough to impress guests!

I also use Aquafaba in alot of my desserts, so I need to use up the butter beans or chickpeas that I have left over from draining the aquafaba, so I toss these into the soup also which adds lots of added fibre and goodness, but can’t be tasted or detected once blended up! Sneaky hey!

This makes a big old pot of soup, so will last a family of five , two meals .
