If you’re craving tomato soup, forget the tin stuff. You need to make this instead. Start by slicing the tomatoes in half. Then roughly chop the onion. Place the sliced tomatoes onto a tray along with the rest of your tomatoes and the onion. Slice the top off the garlic. Add some olive oil. Then wrap it up tightly. Then place it on your tray. Drizzle some oil on the tomatoes. Season with salt and some black pepper. Then roast in the oven at 200° C until it’s blistering and slightly charred. After about 30 minutes, it should look like this. Then melt some butter in a pan. Squeeze out the roasted garlic. Ow, that’s very hot. Remove the stalk from any tomatoes. Add the tomatoes and onion in with the garlic. I like to add a splash of balsamic vinegar for depth. And some maple syrup or honey to balance the flavors. If you like, you can also add a teaspoon of smoked paprika. We want this to gently simmer away for a few minutes. Transfer it to a blender. Add some chicken stock. Then blend this for about 30 seconds until it’s nice and smooth. Add some cream. Finish with a little salt and black pepper. Stir it through. Then it’s ready to serve. Finish with a drizzle of olive oil, some cream, and fresh basil. Look at that. That is absolutely banging. Lovely.

  8. My tomato soup efforts have always been so-so, but I'm deffo trying this one! Brill recipe! Ta! PS do you have one for roasted pepper soup? Or would just substituting the toms with peppers work…??? Just a thought.
