Tomato Soup - dairy/wheat free

This soup turned out really nicely! I'd recommend to double the ingredients to make bigger soup

1 onion, peeled and finely chopped
2-3 cloves of garlic, peeled and finely chopped
a handful of fresh basil leaves picked
olive oil

1kg of tomatoes (as ripe as possible)
  • Put your onion, garlic and basil into a large pot with a couple of lugs of olive oil
  • Cover the pan, and simmer gently without colouring for 20 minutes, stirring every now and then. 
  • While the veg are simmering, drop the tomatoes into boiling water for 30 seconds, then remove the skin. 

Add these to the veg and let simmer for a further 20 minutes with the lid on, press the tomatoes gently so they break. 

Purée the soup using a food processor, but be careful as it is very hot

 Once you've puréed the soup, put it back into the pan, bring it back to a simmer, and season very carefully with chopped basil leave, salt and black pepper.
