Tomato and butter bean soup

Super easy protein filled soup that fills you up and tastes great, good for lunches. We started making it when we got hit by colds/flu last spring and couldn't be bothered cooking...
Keeps pretty well in the fridge for a couple of days

Ingredients

• splash of olive oil
• one onion red or white
• salt/pepper
• can of tomatos
• can of butter beans or cannelini beans (or similar)
• 1/2 tsp sugar
• Fresh Basil (other herbs e.g chives) if you have any
• sour cream/soy cream as garnish

1. Dice onion and brown in sauce pan/large frying with olive oil and a sprinkling of salt
2. When ready add can of tomatos and sugar 
3. Drain and wash can of beans (you can totes use dry beans that have been soaked over night but we're never that organised) add to pan
4. Simmer down adding herbs (if you are adding any)
5. Season to taste (sometimes we chuck in a bit of tobasco or similar to add some pep)
6. Blend till smooth (so the more you simmer it down the thicker it gets)
7. serve with a dollop of sour cream or soy alternative and chives/basil leaves to garnish and wholegrain toast
