Roasted Love Apple Soup
Submitted
by: Barbiel |
675g
cherry tomatoes
4 cloves of garlic, unpeeled
4 tablespoons Olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
450ml light vegetable stock |
salt
and freshly ground black pepper to taste
to serve:
heart shaped croutons
chives, finely chopped
Soya cream - optional |
| Preheat the oven
to 200°C (400°F - Gas 6). Place the tomatoes and cloves of
garlic in a roasting dish in a single layer. Drizzle with 3
tablespoons of the Olive oil and roast for about 30 minutes
until the garlic is tender when pierced with a knife, and the
tomatoes are colouring and splitting. Heat the remaining
tablespoon of oil in a saucepan and gently fry the onion until
transluscent. Squeeze the garlic out of the skins and add to the
onions, together with the roasted tomatoes and all the juices
from the roasting pan. Pour in the stock, bring to the boil and
simmer, covered for 20 minutes. Cool, then blend until the soup
is very smooth (make sure all the tomato skins are well blended).
Return the soup to a clean pan, season to taste and gently
reheat. Serve in warmed soup bowls topped with heart shaped
croutons, a sprinkling of chopped chives and a swirl of Soya
cream, if desired. Makes 2 servings. |
