The weather right now is super up and down in temp (what’s with that Oct??) but it’s still got me in the mood for a soup now and then. Soup is rarely a go to lunch for me but I do enjoy making my own, so when I knew I’d be wfh today it was the perfect excuse.
Start by roasting the tomatoes, pepper and garlic for 30-40 minutes at 190 C until soft.
Next, in a large pan soften the carrots, then add the stock and roasted tomatoes, pepper and basil to the saucepan.
Blend until smooth, before squeezing in the roasted garlic and salt & pepper to taste. Bring to a boil for 5mins before turning down to a simmer for 10mins.
Serve at desired temp with a drizzle of cream like me or with croutons/bread and butter.
