A hearty winter soup - do not be put off by the colour as it is made with kidney beans but garnished with sour cream and a few chives makes it very pretty - I sometimes drop a handful of tom thumb tomatoes in while it is simmering and then you get a lovely extra burst of flavour in your mouth.
Ingredients:
4 slices lean bacon, diced, for garnish
1 -2 teaspoon chili powder
2 onions, finely chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
2 stalks celery, chopped
400 g tomato puree

4 cups chicken stock
sour cream (to garnish)
herbs (to garnish)

2. Cook onion with chilli in a little olive oil till tender.
3. Add carrot,celery,beans and stock and bring to boil.
4. Simmer 35 minutes.
5. Blend soup in food processor.
