This is a flavourful tomato soup, spiked with capers to make a wonderful light summer soup. From a little soup book by Susannah Blake. I have been known to substitute the sun-dried tomato puree for normal puree or paste, so don't feel you have to rush out and buy any! Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 onion, finely chopped |
2 garlic cloves, crushed |
4 large ripe tomatoes, peeled & chopped |
1 red pepper, seeded & finely chopped |
1 tablespoon sun-dried tomato puree |
1 1/4 liters vegetable stock or 1 1/4 liters chicken stock |
2 courgettes, sliced |
4 teaspoons capers, chopped |
fresh basil leaf |
salt and pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat the oil & gently cook the onion & garlic until soft.
2. Add the tomatoes, pepper, puree & stock, & bring to the boil.
3. Reduce heat & simmer for 10 minutes.
4. Add the vegetables & simmer for a further 10 mins, until tender. Serve with herbs & seasonings!
