Speedy Recipe || Tomato Soup

20:00 Unknown 3 Comments

Hello lovelies,
In my attempt to stay healthy this year I have been making myself lots of salads and soups, I thought I would share my speedy Tomato soup recipe, for those days where you only have a little while for lunch! This recipe takes me roughly 10-15 minutes from start to finish...
You will need:
1 Pan
1 Hand Blender
1 Tinned Tomatoes (preferably chopped not plum)
1 Tsp. Dried Basil
Half a Large Onion or 1 Small Onion
1 Clove of Garlic
Vegetable Oil
Stock Cube
Salt and Pepper
Step One: Heat roughly a teaspoon of Vegetable Oil in your pan, roughly chop your Onion and Garlic and add to the oil, softening and cooking them off
Step Two: Add your teaspoon of Dried Basil and stir it into the Onions and Garlic as they soften
Step Three: Pour in your can of Tomatoes and break them up if necessary, heat them up until they start to boil then reduce the heat and simmer them for a few minutes
Step Four: Break off about a third of your stock cube and crumble it into your pan, stirring constantly until it has fully dissolved
Step Five: Dampen a towel and lay it on the side, take your pan off the heat (DO NOT FORGET TO TURN THE HOB OFF) and place it on the towel, so it wont move
Step Six: Blend your soup with a hand blender, making sure to push it up and down at a ninety degree angle, as opposed to holding it at an angle, that will just cause splashing of scolding hot Tomatoes (OUCH)
Step Seven: Once fully blended, add Salt and Pepper to taste and you are FINISHED
I poured about half into a bowl and ate it with some crackers and hummus, it was a filling and nutritious meal that kept me going all day, and I wasn't feeling very well anyway so it was just what I needed! I hope this was somewhat helpful to someone...
