This soup takes the hunger away – And keeps it away for a long time

Rich, sweet and richly flavored soups are the best winter food.

Bean pasta soup charms already with its appearance. Mari Moilanen

This soup takes away hunger and keeps it at bay for a long time. Beans and pasta take care of that. As a side dish, bake coarse bread rolls or pick up crusty country bread from the store.

Winter is the season of soups. The juju of this sopa is in the holy trinity of finely chopped onion, carrot and celery. Freesate from these vegetables creates the aromatic undertone that you can taste in this soup with every spoonful.

Tomato puree and whole canned tomatoes bring more layers of flavor to the soup. Soppa gets nutrition from kidney and white beans. The mussel pasta added to the set cooks deliciously in the broth of the soup.

Since there is pasta in the soup, the finished soup is topped with Parmesan cheese grated on the wrist. This creates a great-tasting vegetable soup that can easily be made vegan if you use vegetable stock instead of chicken stock and serve the soup without parmesan.

Beans and pasta give the soup food. Mari Moilanen
