  Really tasty, didn't have any small pasta shapes so I broke spaghetti into 3cm pieces and it worked just as well. Yummy, healthy and hearty - is there anything better?

  If your pans of soup last for 2-3 days as ours do, it is best to add a small amount of pasta to required amount of soup each day, as if you add the pasta and keep the soup it's not so nice. Also I liked it best if the bacon is cut up small and well fried. And we had sage but not parsley and that was nice too, I added it chopped with the pasta.

  This was absolutely delicious and very filling, would be perfect for a cold winters night. I used back bacon and cut off the excess fat to make it healthier. Will definately become a regular meal in our house.

  I loved this recipe, i had seconds and had it again for my dinner the day after. The flavours are just so lovely and warming, it fills you up and especially on these cold nights it's the best thing to help you sleep. I did, change a few things... When adding fresh black pepper i added mixed herbs and a bit of garlic powder. I acidentally picked up a tin of Mixed Beans with Tomato Sauce (Morrisons) and so put 1pint of chicken stock in instead of 1L. I added the puree as advised. Made the sauce not too thick but not runny and it wasn't over run with tomato. It was just right i think. I have written this recipe in my cookbook as i think it's a well deserved keeper. :D

  Really good. Didn't have the beans so used tinned lentils which worked just as well.

  Yummy, yum, yum + yum. I tried for the first time the tomato and chilli purée instead. I just noticed it in the bigger supermarkets.

  My OH and I loved this soup. I used spicy mixed beans and it worked really well. I made and left this over night for next days dinner, when reheating I had to add a little more chicken stock, but not a problem, was still lush, will make again a great winter warmer.

  This is a lovely filling mid-week family meal; pop any left-overs in the fridge and it's fab the next day as well.
