Homemade Tomato Soup

It’s exam time of year yet again and I’m home for lunch, something of a rare occurrence during the rest of the year! What could be better for lunch than a nice bowl of soup, especially with the extremely cold weather we’ve been having lately!

Below is a recipe I’ve made up myself from the limited ingredients I had in the house when I first made it!

Ingredients (2 Portions)

1 400g tin of Chopped Tomatoes
Half a Chopped Onion
One stalk of celery chopped finely
A nice slab of butter for frying in.
A teaspoon of corn flour
An inch of Chorizo, chopped finely.
1 clove of garlic
Teaspoon of basil.
About 1/2 to 1 a cup of milk

Recipe

Firstly fry your onions and celery together in the butter until the onions are soft. Then add the cornflour and mix in to form a paste.
Slowly add your tin of tomatoes mixing in well.
Add the remainder of your ingredients and stir in well, add the milk to make it a creamy tomato soup, but it probably isn’t required nor is the Chorizo!
Allow it to simmer for around 10 minutes with a lid on and 15 minutes with the lid off to reduce it a bit, taste it every now and again to see if it tastes good and has reached a soup consistency, i.e. not too watery, but not ketchup either.
Serve on a plate with some nice bread, personally I used ciabatta roles (£1 for 5 at Morrisons) slice them up and toast them slightly in the oven so they have a slightly stale texture. Great for dipping into soup!
