Cook the onion and garlic with in olive oil until soft - try not to brown. Add peppers, courgettes, paprika and rosemary, cook for 3 minutes stirring. Add balsamic vinegar, simmer for 2 minutes, then add tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 15 minutes until vegetables are tender. Add tomato paste, parsley, season and serve.

3 syns for the lot – makes 4-5 portions

This is an old favourite in our household - OH loves it too - says the smoked paprika gives it a bacony taste.

I've always followed the recipe exactly as its fab as is - I suppose you could add some white beans to bulk it up, or some green beans for colour.
 
Thanks - back to packed lunches next week so am on soup idea alert.
 
Ooh Hazysummer...yum, yum. Ive just printed this off in work and I am going to make a batch of it tommorrow. It sounds devine.
