The ultimate comfort food for a cold winter's day, it takes little effort to prepare and is so much tastier than out of a tin.
Servings: 4
Calories: 187kcal
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons of olive oil for drizzling
- 12 large tomatoes, weighing about 1kg, see notes
- 1 red onion, peeled & quartered
- 3 cloves garlic, skin on
- 15 g fresh basil, small handful
- 175 ml vegetable stock, see notes
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F (180°C fan) and line a large tray with baking paper.
- Cut the tomatoes in half and the onion into quarters and place on a baking tray along with the garlic. There's no need to peel the garlic as this can be roasted whole then squeezed out of its skin when cooked.
- Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle salt over the top and bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes until soft and starting to caramelize. Keep an eye on it as they can burn easily.
- Once ready, squeeze the garlic out of its skin and place into the Thermomix bowl along with the tomatoes, onion, stock and basil.
- Blend for 30-60 sec/speed 7. Check for consistency, if it's a little thick, add a little more water and blend again. Season to taste. If you like it thick and chunky, blend for less time.
- If you're serving the soup straight away, heat it up in the Thermomix for 5 mins/100℃/speed 1 until piping hot.
- Serve with fresh crusty bread and a sprinkling of Parmesan and fresh basil on top.
Notes
Roma tomatoes: Roma tomatoes which are great for cooking with or you could also use truss or gourmet tomatoes.
Stock: I like to use stock cubes. You could also use Thermomix vegetable stock concentrate or stock from a carton. Just don't add more than 250 ml so it's not too runny.
To freeze: Allow the soup to cool completely before freezing. Ladle into a freezer proof container or bag but don't overfill as it will expand once frozen. Consume within 3 months.
