Thick Tomato Soup
When we have a glut of tomatoes in the garden I turn to this soup recipe to use them up, especially if some are getting a little over ripe before we could eat them. I'm not keen on watery soups, so this one uses a milk and cornflour to thicken.
Ingredients
-
1lb fresh tomatoes, chopped
-
1 large onion, chopped
-
4 garlic cloves
-
1/2 pint soy or oat milk
-
Seasoning
Put the chopped onions, garlic and tomatoes in a pan and cook until the onions are soft.
I use oregano rock salt and fresh ground black pepper to season lightly, but you can use sea salt and a sprinkle of dried oregano if this isn't to hand. Take off the heat and add the milk.
Pour into a blender and whizz till it’s smooth. Return to the pan to heat through. You can add a spoon of cornflour if you want a thicker soup, or a little more milk if you want it thinner.
That’s it! I was told to add tomato purée too, but we didn’t have any, so I didn’t. It was perfectly tomatoey without it....
