Nothing better that a soul warming soup on a cold winter’s night. And the best part of this recipe is that you’re free to use any vegetables of your choice.
30 ml (2 Tbsp) chopped fresh parsley or 10 ml (2 tsp) dried
Method
Heat the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan and sauté the onion until soft.
Pour boiling water over tomatoes and remove skin.
Add the remaining ingredients, bring to the boil and simmer for about 30 minutes, until the vegetables are soft.
Liquidise three-quarters of soup, add remaining soup and bring to the boil. Serve warm and garnish with parsley. Serve with any bread, rolls or croutons, if preferred.
VARIATIONS
Add 200g fresh asparagus or broccoli.
Substitute tomatoes and carrots with 500 g button mushrooms, coarsely chopped.
Substitute the potatoes with sweet potatoes.
For a creamy tomato soup, omit the carrots and potatoes and add 10 medium tomatoes. Reduce stock to 375 ml. Add 10 ml (2 tsp) sugar and 3 ml (½ tsp) Spur Peri-Peri Sauce and then purée the soup.
For a meaty soup, add 250 g (4) sausages, fried and sliced.
