just made this for lunch - it's quite filling and definitely yummy. I'm not really a soup person and tend to like something a bit chunkier

Instead of passata can you use chopped tomatoes?

 

[amybee]

don't see why not. Would probably make it even more chunky - good thinking! I would probably use two tins in that case though
