A CLASSIC… Creamy Roasted Tomato & Red Pepper Soup 🍅✨ Ingredients 6–7 ripe tomatoes, halved 1 red peppers, deseeded and roughly chopped 1 onion, quartered 1 whole garlic bulb 1 tbsp olive oil 1 tsp smoked paprika 1 tsp dried oregano 1/2 tsp chilli flakes Salt & black pepper, to taste 1 tbsp tomato purée 750ml–1 litre vegetable stock A handful of fresh basil 100ml double cream Method Roast the vegetables: Add the tomatoes, red peppers and red onion to a large roasting tray. Drizzle with olive oil and season with smoked paprika, oregano, chilli flakes, salt and black pepper. Slice the top off the garlic bulb. Drizzle with a little olive oil, wrap in foil and place on the roasting tray. Roast at 200°C fan for 35–45 minutes, until the vegetables are soft, caramelised and slightly charred around the edges. Build the soup: Add the roasted vegetables to a large pot. Squeeze the roasted garlic cloves from their skins and add them in. Stir in the tomato purée and cook for 2–3 minutes. Pour in 750ml vegetable stock and add the fresh basil. Bring to a simmer and cook for around 10 minutes. Blend & Finish: Blend until completely smooth. Add more stock if you prefer a thinner soup. Stir in the double cream and simmer gently for another 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with extra salt and black pepper if needed. To Serve: drizzle over cream or olive oil, top with fresh basil and chilli flakes to finish. #EasyRecipes #soupseason #tomatosoup #homecooking #cozyseason
