People are going into isolation, businesses are closing their doors or cutting back to deliveries only and social distancing is in full swing. And if all that isn’t enough, the panic buying hasn’t eased up at all. Shelves are empty and it’s getting harder and harder for a lot of people to put together a normal meal.

That’s what I did this week and because of that, I created something that I’ll be more than happy to eat again and again. This Tomato & Mixed Bean Soup is a comforting go-to recipe using the basic pantry staples; tinned tomatoes & canned beans.
