Lip Licking Tomato & Red Pepper Soup
Equipment
- 1 saucepan
- 1 blender
Ingredients
- 1 red or yellow pepper deseeded and chopped roughly
- Half an onion roughly chopped
- 150 mls water with ½ a low salt vegetable stock cube
- 190 g tomatoes roughly chopped
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- Sprig of basil
Instructions
- Add the peppers, tomato, onion and stock to a saucepan and simmer on a low temperature for up to 20 minutes.
- Once soft, add the saucepan contents into a blender until smooth.
- Pour the contents from the blender through a sieve and press it through with a spoon, to get as much liquid soup as possible. This should leave the tough skins and some of the seeds behind (you can use the leftovers to make a tomato salsa).
- Reheat the soup, as required. Add two tablespoons of yogurt and stir. Serve with a sprig of fresh basil on top.

Notes
As a soup by itself or as a pasta sauce and the leftovers make a great child friendly salsa.
