Fresh Tomato Soup

Homemade Tomato Soup is so much nicer tasting than the shop bought version. This homemade tomato soup recipe packs some real flavour because the tomatoes are fresh rather than canned.

Cooking Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over low heat. Add the tomatoes, onion and garlic and sweat, covered, for 15 minutes.
2. Add the water and a quick a splash of wine. Simmer covered for 15 minutes.
3. Remove from the heat and purée the soup with a hand held blender until nice and smooth.
4. Rub the soup through a sieve to remove the skins and seeds, pressing with a wooden spoon to liberate the maximum of tomato pulp.
5. Season to taste with the sugar, salt and pepper. The quality of the tomatoes will depend upon the sugar content. With lovely organic homegrown tomatos, you might not want to add any extra sugar. Serve garnished with chives.
6. Serve garnished with chives or if you like, with a few garlic croûtons, made by rubbing a slice or two of stale bread with half a garlic clove, cutting it into squares, and frying til crisp in a little oil.
7. For a creamy version you could add a swirl of single cream to each bowl, or a little blob of crême fraîche.
