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

  3. In a large pot bring water to boil.  Blanch tomatoes for 1 minute. Remove tomatoes from water and cool.  Remove skin from tomatoes and cut in half.
  4. Deseed and cut capsicum in half.
  5. Place tomato and capsicum halves face down on an oiled baking dish.  Place in oven and roast the tomatoes and capsicum for 30 minutes. 
  6. Cool capsicum in a clean plastic bag to assist with removing skin and remove skin. Remove skin from capsicum.
