Tomatoes
The best tomatoes to use are fresh, in season, vine tomatoes or Italian plum tomatoes. They are rich deep red in colour and not watery when you slice them open.
Trust me the flavor is much greater than unripe forced tomatoes.
Fresh is Best for Your Health!
Ingredients
Serves 4
In a large pot, heat the olive oil and sauté the chopped onion for a few minutes.
Add the crushed garlic and cook for 2 minutes.
Add the chopped tomatoes and continue to sauté for 5 minutes.
Add the bay leaves.
Pour in the stock, turn up the heat and bring to boiling point.
Now lower the heat, partly cover the pot and simmer gently for 20 minutes.
Mix in the herbs, simmer for 2 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves before blending.
Puree with a hand held liquidizer or gradually put the soup through a worktop blender in batches.
Reheat in a pot.
Serve in warm dishes with crusty wholemeal rolls or homemade garlic bread.
Here's a quick and easy way to get a creamy smooth soup. After liquidizing, press the soup gradually through a sieve. You should only have the tomato skins left behind in the sieve. Pour into warm bowls with a sprinkle of parmesan if you like it. Serve, Bon Appetite! |
