I fancied making a tomato soup so did a quick search on Google while in the supermarket and found this one which sounded pretty good and easy although it takes a while.
We bought what we needed and came home to make it for dinner. I changed a few things again...

Method:
Spread the tomatoes in one layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.
We bought what we needed and came home to make it for dinner. I changed a few things again...
Ingredients:
- 3 lbs ripe tomatoes, cut in half
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons good olive oil
- 1 tbsp salt
- 1 1/2 tsps freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp crushed red chilli flakes
- 2 yellow onions, chopped
- 6 garlic cloves, crushed
- 2 tbsps unsalted butter
- 1 can chopped tomatoes
- 4 cups fresh basil leaves, roughly chopped
- 1 tsp fresh thyme leaves
- 2 pints chicken or vegetable stock (I used veg)
- Sour cream or yoghurt to serve
Method:
Preheat the oven to 200 oC. Toss together the tomatoes, 1/4 cup olive oil, chilli flakes, salt, and pepper.
Spread the tomatoes in one layer on a baking sheet and roast for 45 minutes.
In a large stockpot over medium heat, sauté the onions and garlic with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the butter for 10 minutes, until the onions start to brown. Add the canned tomatoes, basil, thyme, and stock. Add the oven-roasted tomatoes, including the liquid on the baking sheet.
Our oven always burns whatever is at the back right corner. |
Bring to a boil and simmer uncovered for 40 minutes.
Blend to your desired consistency. Season to taste. Garnish with a few fresh basil leaves and a dollop of sour cream or yoghurt. Serve hot or cold with crusty bread and butter. :)
Yum! |
According to Nik, it's the best soup I've ever made :)
