I saw this tasty soup cooked on James Martin’s Saturday Morning Show and decided to make it the following day for lunch, as we had guests coming over.
So simple to make and it’s fast becoming one of my husband’s favourites.
Ingredients
- 800g vine tomatoes, sliced in half
- 2 shallots, peeled and diced
- 2 garlic cloves, peeled and diced
- 4-6 sprigs of thyme
- 500ml vegetable stock
- small bunch basil
- 10ml olive oil
- pinch caster sugar
- salt and pepper
Method
- Pre heat oven to 200c (180 fan).
- Place the tomatoes, shallots, garlic and thyme onto a baking tray. Drizzle over the oil and roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and place in a blender. Add the stock, sugar and basil and blend until smooth.
- Place in a pan over a low heat and heat until warm, then season.
- Place the soup into bowls and garnish with basil leaves.
- Serve with warm crusty bread.
