Parsnip Sweetcorn and Tomato soup

I made this soup the other day just by throwing some leftover pasta sauce in a pan with some leftover veg and adding water. It turned out delicious and I added some short spaghetti to make it super-filling. A proper winter warmer soup.

(for some reason I can't upload pictures at the moment but I will add them later)

You will need:

* pasta sauce (about half a mug) - I use 'Dolmio extra winter vegetable bolegnese sauce'
* Parsnips (2 or 3 big, or about 5 small)
* Sweetcorn (3 - 4 tablespoons full)
* Spaghetti or small pasta
* Fresh Basil or other herbs to taste

First chop your parsnips into small (about 1" cubes) chunks of fairly equal size.

Throw these into a pint and a half of boiling water in a large pan on the hob.

Tear spaghetti into short lengths, or use other small pasta, and add to pan.

When the parsnips feel tender add the pasta sauce and sweetcorn. The pasta should start to absorb the water, making a thicker consistency.

Put the lid on the pan and simmer for ten minutes or until pasta is soft and ready to eat.

Serve with mini garlic bruscettas (will put recipe up in a minute) and fresh basil leaves.

Enjoy :)

(again, blogger isn't really working at the moment so will format this later)
