Roasted Tomato Soup

Easiest recipe yet!

Ingredients:

2lb ripe tomatoes

1 clove garlic

1 onion

any peppers you have lying around

optional 1 chilli

Halve the tomatoes and chop everything else and throw it all in a rosting tin, like this.

If you want ant herbs, basil or parsely etc, put them in now as well.

Drizzle a little olive oil over it, and salt and pepper to taste. Put the above in the oven at about 190 oC for about an hour.

until it looks like this..

If you want lumps in your soup, take about 3/4 of the roasted stuff and put it in a blender. If you prefer a smooth soup, put it all in the blender.

What ever is left, leave it in the rosting tin, add about 250ml chicken stock and put it on a high heat on the hob until simmering. give it a good stir with a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan, this adds a lot of flavour, and ensures nothing is wasted.

If you left any bits for lumpy soup, give it a bit of a mash with a fork.

Then combine this with what is in the blender and voila, tomato soup.
