Roasted tomato soup with chickpeas and spinach
Background
When tomatoes are season (therefore cheap) I buy many kilos of them and make tomato sauce which I freeze for future meals. My favourite way of preparing the tomatoes is baking, which gives them a deeper, smoky flavour. I made this vegan roasted tomato soup with chickpeas and spinach using a frozen portion, so the soup took me 10 minutes cook. In this recipe I include the baking process too. Serve it with bread rolls, crostini, flatbread, oatcakes etc whatever takes your fancy!
Ingredients
- 500g ripe tomatoes
- 1 large red onion
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 green chilli (optional)
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 500 ml vegetable stock (approx.)
- 1 tin of chickpeas (400 ml), drained
- 200g spinach
- Salt and pepper
- Lime juice
Instructions
- Turn the oven on to 180Β°C.
- Put the tomatoes into a large baking tray.
- Cut the onion into thin wedges put these between the tomatoes. Add the chilli (deseeded and stem removed). Scatter the garlic cloves around the tomatoes (with skin on).
- Drizzle with the oil and dust with the spices. Season with salt and pepper. Combine well, then bake for 25 minutes.
- Transfer the tomatoes to a saucepan, including the cooking jus. Add the stock and the chickpeas. Bring the boil.
- Add the spinach, turn off the heat, put a lid on and steam for 5 minutes.
- Using a hand-held blender, process the soup until you get your desired texture (itβs nice coarse and smooth).
- Serve warm with lime juice and freshly ground pepper.
