  • Egg free
  • Nut free

Ingredients

  • 1 X 420g can corn kernels, drained
    1 X 300g can butter beans, drained
    1 clove garlic, crushed
    375 ml reduced fat evaporated milk
    1 cup reduced salt vegetable stock
    1 cup small shell pasta, small
    200 g broccoli florets, fresh or frozen
    60 g parmesan cheese, grated
    cracked black pepper, to taste

Cooking method

    1. Put all the ingredients except the cheese and pepper in a medium-sized saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the soup from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
    2. Reduce the heat and cook until the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
    3. Stir in the cheese and pepper and serve piping hot.

Notes: On occasion serve with tomato salsa.
Most of the standard dried varieties of wheat pastas do not contain egg - but always check the ingredients list to be certain. Use egg free pasta if you are preparing food for people with an allergy to egg.
