Traditional Tomato Soup

By Dominic On May 12, 2009 Comments Off

We all love a traditional bowl of soup with warm crusty bread and tomato soup is no different. It is also very filling and good for you without breaking the bank.

Ingredients:

30ml Olive Oil

900g Fresh Medium Tomatoes halved

2 Medium Garlic Cloves

1 Small Potato peeled and sliced

300ml Water

Vegetable Stock

5ml Sugar

Instructions:

You need to lightly oil a roasting tin and arrange the tomatoes with cut part facing up. Add the garlic cloves and season then drizzle with the remaining oil. Once you have done this leave it to roast in the oven for 30 minutes on 190c/gas mark 5.
