Roasted tomato soup

Serves:

Ingredients

• 4 tbs olive oil
• 1kg roma tomatoes, halved
• 1 onion, sliced
• 2 garlic cloves, halved
• small handful of thyme sprigs
• 1 tsp caster sugar
• 1 tsp of sea salt
• 1 litre chicken stock
• 2 semi-dried tomatoes
• 1 tbsp barbecue sauce

Method

Preheat oven to 220°C (200°C fan-forced).

Toss tomatoes, onion and garlic cloves with olive oil. Sprinkle with thyme sprigs, sugar and salt.

Place in an oven tray and roast for 20-25 minutes until caramelised.

Once cooked, tip everything in the oven tray into a stock pot, removing woody stalks of thyme.

Add the chicken stock, semi-dried tomatoes and barbecue sauce. Bring to the boil and simmer for 5 minutes.

Use a stick blender to puree the soup then push through a sieve to remove tomato skins.

Reheat if necessary before serving.

Notes

• You can make this recipe vegetarian by using vegetable stock instead of chicken.
• You can skip the sieving step, but some kids might find the bits of tomato skin that escape the stick blender challenging.
