There is nothing like a healthy homemade tomato soup. This version is packed full of slow roasted goodness. try adding lentils, pulses or bacon, it will only enhance the flavour.

YOU WILL NEED:

1kg Fresh Tomatoes

500g Carrots

2 Red Bell Peppers

2 Cloves of Garlic

1 Red Onion

1 Broccoli Stem (optional)

1 Kallo Organic Stock Cube

METHOD:

Wash your tomatoes, peel the carrots and slice into long quarters. Wash the bell peppers but leave whole. Cut the onion into slices and peel the garlic.

Place all of your vegetables on a good sized roasting tin and drizzle with a goodly amount of olive oil. Place in the oven to roast on about 170/180 degrees C. Roast them for about 45 mins to 1 hour. Basting and stirring from time to time. Once they are cooked you can easily peel the skins off of the tomatoes and the peppers using two forks or your fingers if you don’t mind that sort of thing.

Place all your vegetables into a heavy bottomed saucepan and add the chopped broccoli stem (for adding flavour). Dissolve the organic stock cube in 300ml of boiling water and add to the tomato soup. Stir well, place on the heat and simmer gently for about 20 minutes. This is where you can add extras, such as lentils or other pulses, or try fried bacon pieces or chorizo.

Once the vegetables and stock have all cooked together. use a hand blender to blitz to a smooth soup.

Drizzle with a little cream and a few fresh basil leaves if they are in season.

Enjoy with some lovely fresh bread.
