Cooking time: 20 min

Tomato and Basil Soup Ingredients:

  • 500g (1.1 lb) very ripe tomatoes with their stalks (but not stems), chopped into chunks with their stalks for extra flavour
  • 400g (14 oz) tin of plum tomatoes
  • 2 celery sticks, chopped
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 carrot, chopped
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 litre (2 pints) of reduced sodium (salt) chicken stock
  • 3 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Large bunch of basil, chopped
  • Bay leaves
  • ¼ tsp chilli flakes or 1 fresh chilli

    Cooking Instruction:

    1. Add olive, chilli flakes, garlic, bay leaves, and onion to a saucepan. Set it over a low heat for a few seconds until the garlic and onion begin to sizzle and add the carrot and celery. Cook gently until soft, stirring well.

    2. Add fresh tomato to the pan, and allow stewing for a few minutes. Add plum tomatoes and stir. Add just enough chicken stock to cover, stir again and bring it to the boil, cover, turn down the heat to simmer and cook for another 10 min. Add half of the basil and continue to cook for 5 min.

    3. Tip the mixture into a food processor and add the remaining fresh basil. Blitz until finely chopped but not completely smooth. Pass through a conical sieve into a clean pan and heat gently until warm not hot – you want to retain the fresh tomato and basil flavour. If you want to achieve thinner consistency add some more stock.

    4. Season, add ground black pepper to taste and serve in warm bowls.
