    Ingredients

    1 large onion
    3 sticks celery
    1 tbsp olive oil
    2 bay leaves
    395g can essential Waitrose Mixed Beans In A Spicy Tomato Sauce
    400g can essential Waitrose Chopped Tomatoes

Add the beans with their sauce and the tomatoes to the pan.  Fill each can twice with cold water, adding it to the pan with the bouillon powder or stock cube.  Bring to the boil, season to taste and remove the bay leaves.  Add the finely shredded greens or cabbage and cook for 3-4 minutes, until tender.
    3. Meanwhile, finely chop any reserved celery leaves.  Season the soup again then ladle into bowl and garnish with the chopped leaves.  Serve with cheese and slices of warm ciabatta bread, if you wish.
