This is Sprog 1’s favourite soup. I first blogged about it back in October, sans pic. I finally got around to snapping it this week. Quite arty too, don’t you think? Considering it was taken on our grotty old deck … The recipe is a dumbed down version of a Gordon Ramsey classic. Enjoy!
Roast Tomato Soup
INGREDIENTS: 4 tablespoons olive oil, 1kg roma tomatoes, halved; 2 garlic cloves, halved; 1 onion, sliced; small handful of thyme sprigs; 1 teaspoon caster sugar; 1 litre chicken stock; 2 semi-dried tomatoes; 1 tablespoon barbecue sauce; sea salt.
METHOD: Preheat oven to 220C. Toss tomatoes, onion and garlic cloves with olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme sprigs, sugar and salt. Roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelised. Tip into a stock pot, removing woody stalks of thyme. Add chicken stock, semi-dried tomatoes and barbecue sauce. Bring to the boil and cook for 5 minutes. Use a stick blender to puree the mixture. Reheat if necessary. Pour through a sieve if you don’t like “bits” or want a fancier result. Serve with a fresh cob of bread and butter.
