When you've got rich tinned tomatoes and intense, fruity SunBlush tomatoes, there's no reason not to enjoy homemade tomato soup in the depths of winter.

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 tbsp butter or olive oil
2 garlic cloves, crushed
5 soft sun-dried or SunBlush tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped
3 x 400g cans plum tomatoes
500ml turkey or vegetable stock
1 tsp sugar, any type, or more to taste
142ml pot soured cream
125g pot fresh basil pesto
basil leaves, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the butter or oil in a large pan, then add the garlic and soften for a few mins over a low heat. Add the sun-dried or SunBlush tomatoes, canned tomatoes, stock, sugar and seasoning, then bring to a simmer. Let the soup bubble for 10 mins until the tomatoes have broken down a little.
  • Whizz with a stick blender, adding half the pot of soured cream as you go. Taste and adjust the seasoning - add more sugar if you need to. Serve in bowls with 1 tbsp or so of the pesto swirled on top, a little more soured cream and scatter with basil leaves.
