We love the taste of roasted vegetables and in a soup it is simply delicious.  Tomato soup is totally transformed when roasted capsicums are added.  Any type of tomatoes can be used, we prefer to use vine ripened tomatoes when available. 

 Ingredients

  • 1L / 1.7pt vegetable stock (homemade or packaged)
  • 12 tomatoes – washed
  • 3 red capsicum – washed
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 onions – peeled, rinsed, sliced finely
  • 2 garlic cloves – peeled, rinsed, crushed
  • 2 teaspoons ground cumin
  • 2 teaspoons fresh coriander – washed
