2 x 400g cans cherry tomatoes in juice

Add tomatoes and stock. Bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes to allow flavours to develop. Add sweet potato. Cook for a further 3 minutes. Add zucchini, celery, beans and peas. Cook for 3 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
Combine parmesan and parsley in a small bowl. Divide soup among serving bowls. Sprinkle with parsley mixture. Serve.
