Soup for lunch

I made a variation on minestrone for lunch using the last of Monday's leftover gammon. It would serve 4 for lunch.

Leftover gammon (maybe 100g) cubed
1 onion
1 stick of celery
1 carrot
3 leaves of curly kale
Pinch of nutmeg
About 200ml veg stock
3 salad tomatoes
A splodge of tomato ketchup
Handful of spaghetti broken into 1" long pieces

I softened the onion and celery then added the carrot and kale and softened them for 5 minutes. Then added the chopped gammon and fried that in the pan slightly for 5 mins.

Then added the nutmeg, then the stock, tomatoes and ketchup and left it to simmer for 10 minutes. Then I added the pasta and cooked for another 10 mins until the pasta was cooked through.

We've just had it with cheese sandwiches and have some leftover to freeze. I blended it as the youngest is fussy about lumps!!
