This is a great base for lots of recipes. I always make a large quantity so that I can freeze a batch. I used to add wine to this recipe just after the tomato puree but I don’t think it is missed.

Plus it's really healthy so feels good to get all that veg down them!  You may like to consider using one of our Long Sleeved Weaning Bibs though!  Prep time: 15 mins Cooking time: 30-45 mins N.B. be prepared to freeze some of this soup, it'll feed a couple of adults and children approximately two times over.  Ingredients Splash of oil or knob of unsalted...
