Super Simple Tomato Soup
A tasty, plain tomato soup, extra hearty as it sneaks in some extra vegetables with the shredded carrots.
Servings: 4 portions
Ingredients
- 1 onion chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 3 carrots shredded
- 800 g crushed tomatoes
- 500 ml water
- 500 g tomato passata
- 1 tsp salt
- A pinch of pepper
Instructions
- Chop onion, mince garlic and shred carrots.
- Cook onion and garlic in a large pot until soft, about five minutes. Add Carrots and cook together for two-three minutes.
- Add crushed tomatoes and passata, top up with water and spices.
- Give it a good stir with a wooden spoon.
- Bring to boil and then let simmer for 15 minutes.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper if necessary.
Notes
Using only one pot to make this soup, reduces the amount of time I have to spend doing the dishes, which is why I fry the onions and garlic in the same pot.
If you prefer a smoother soup, once cooked, carefully ladle the soup in to a blender and blend on high speed until reached desired consistency. Be aware though the liquid will be hot!
