As far as soups go, tomato soup is one of my favourite. I make it a little different to the classic way with the addition of sun dried tomatoes and addition of coconut milk instead of cream.
What You'll Need - Serves 4
500g Cherry Tomatoes
50g Sun Dried Tomatoes
1 Red Onion
4 Garlic Cloves
50ml of Coconut Milk
2 Tsp Smoked Paprika
1 Tbs Soy Sauce
1 Tsp Sugar
Balsamic Vinegar
Salt & Pepper
Olive Oil
Prep - 30 Minutes
Preheat your oven to 200 degrees
In a baking tray, add and slice the tomatoes into halves to expose the flesh. Season with salt and pepper.
Peel, slightly crush and scatter the garlic onto the baking tray.
Drizzle balsamic vinegar and olive oil onto everything and combine well.
Place into the oven and grill until the tomatoes have blistered and softened (about 20 - 25 minutes)
Add the sun dried tomatoes to a bowl and cover with 500ml of hot water so hydrate them.
Let's Get Cooking - 15 Minutes
In a large pot, heat oil and add the onions. Fry them until soft.
Add the smoked paprika and combine.
Add the sun dried tomatoes and the water in to the pot.
Add the roasted tomatoes and combine.
Blend the mixture with your blender ( if you are using a jug blender, add back into the pot after blending)
Bring the pot back onto the stove at low-medium heat and add the sugar and balsamic vinegar.
Add the coconut milk and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
Serve with another drizzle of coconut milk.
