Peel and thinly chop the garlic and onion. Trim and roughly chop the carrots, celery and courgette. Chuck the vegetables into a big bowl.<\/p>\n<p>2. Chop the ends off the leek, quarter it lengthways, wash it under water, then cut into slices around 1cm. Transfer to the bowl.<\/p>\n<p>3. Scrub and dice the potato. Drain the cannellini beans and set aside. Thinly slice the bacon.<\/p>\n<p>4. Heat two tablespoons of oil in a large saucepan and whack on a medium heat. Add the bacon and fry a little for two minutes, or until it is golden.<\/p>\n<p>5. Add the garlic, onion, carrots, celery, courgette, leek, oregano and bay and cook slowly for around 15 minutes, or until the veggies are soft. Ensure you are stirring occasionally.<\/p>\n<p>6. Add the potato, cannellini beans and plum tomatoes, then the vegetable stock. Stir thoroughly, breaking the tomatoes with the back of a spoon.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p>7. Cover the pan with a lid and bring the veggies to the boil slowly. Simmer for around 30 minutes, or until the potato is fully cooked.<\/p>\n<p>8. Find any tough stalks on the greens, then remove and get rid of them. Then, roughly chop.<\/p>\n<p>9. Use a rolling pin to smash the pasta into pieces while it\u2019s still in the packet or wrap in a clean tea towel before bashing.<\/p>\n<p>10. Pierce a chunk of the potato with a sharp knife to check if it&#8217;s cooked. If it pierces easily, it is.<\/p>\n<p>11. Transfer the greens and pasta to the pan, and cook for 10 minutes, or until the pasta is al dente. Al dente pasta is firm to the bite. Have a taste right before the time is up to make sure it&#8217;s cooked well.<\/p>\n<p>12. If needed, add a splash of stock or water to loosen.<\/p>\n<p>13. Pick over the basil leaves (optional) and stir in. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Grate over some Parmesan if you&#8217;re a cheese fan. Serve on its own or with a slice of wholemeal bread if you want a more filling meal.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/life-style\/food\/1839438\/soup-jamie-oliver-winter-recipes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A hearty, warming bowl of soup is just what the doctor ordered as we hastily approach December.
