Roast tomato soup
This is a simple, classic soup that has a rich flavour. It can also be used as a tomato sauce in other recipes – so it’s worth making lots of it! Serve it with crusty bread or toasted ciabatta.

Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C.
- Wash the tomatoes and arrange them in a roasting tin (leave them on the vine).

- Take them out of the oven and, when cooled a little, mash with a fork and discard the vines.
- Transfer the tomatoes and all the juices into a liquidiser, add the sugar & basil and blend until smooth.
- If you prefer a silky smooth soup , pass it through a sieve.
- Season to taste and warm it up if necessary.
- Serve with a few basil or oregano leaves scattered on top.
