This Lock-down has us all scrambling to figure out what we're going to eat the next few weeks while we are hunkering down amid puzzles and coloring books and way too much news!
This recipe uses a lot of what is already sitting in your frig and cupboard. Just throw it together, grab some sourdough bread and have a warm, tasty, filling meal!

1 x 400g tin of plum or chopped tomatoes
1 litre of vegetable stock
100g dried pasta pieces (any broken odds and ends will do)
350g frozen mixed vegetables
4 tbsp red or green pesto
Handful of grated cheese (optional)
Pour the tomatoes and stock into a large saucepan and bring to the boil.
Add the pasta pieces and cook for another few minutes until they’re just turning soft.
Add the frozen vegetables and bring the soup back to the boil, letting it simmer for one to two minutes.
Serve in bowls, topped with pesto and cheese.
