No tears when chopping!) Cook onion until soft in a spoonful of olive oil (extra virgin adds flavour) Dissolve the stock cube in 1/3 pint (a coffee mug) of boiling water. Add to the pan. Add your tin of chopped tomatoes and the drained and rinsed tin of beans. Add 1/2 tsp dried basil. Bring to boil, simmer for 5 minutes.Whizz until smooth, in a jug using a hand blender.

This will bring the texture of the soup nicely
