Courgette Tomato And Chilli Soup Recipes

TOMATO AND CHILLI SOUP RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the tomatoes, skin side up, on a large non-stick baking tray and drizzle with olive oil and salt. Cook on 200 C/gas mark 6 for approximately 15 minutes until the skins start to turn brown.
• Remove the tomatoes from the oven and, using a pair of tongs, pinch the top of the skin and gently lift the skins from the tomatoes and discard. If the skins do not come off easily place back in the oven for a further 5 minutes.
• Evenly sprinkle sugar over the tomatoes and then add the tomatoes along with any juices to a blender. Add the chilli and garlic granules and blend to a smooth consistency.
• In a large saucepan, add your blended tomatoes, vegetable stock, tomatoes puree and chopped basil. Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 10 minutes. When it is nearly ready, add the cream and salt and pepper to taste.

SPICY CHILLI BEAN SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a deep saucepan and fry the chopped onion over a medium heat until tender. Add the garlic and tomato purée, stirring for 1-2 mins until combined. Sprinkle in the spices and cook for another 1 min.
• Tip in the chopped tomatoes, half fill the can with water, and add to the pan. Pour in the stock and simmer on a medium heat for 10-15 mins, uncovered. Season, then whizz using a hand blender until smooth. Add the beans and red pepper, and cook for another 15 mins until the pepper is tender.
• Serve in bowls topped with a small pile of tortilla chips and a lime wedge.

CHILLED MINTY COURGETTE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the onion and cook gently for about 2-3 minutes until softened. Now add the courgettes and dried mint, and stir well to mix with the onion. Cover and cook over a gentle heat for about 10 minutes until the courgettes are softened but not coloured.
• Pour in the stock and bring to the boil, then lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Strip the mint leaves off the stalks and drop them into the pan, then cover the pan and continue simmering gently for 20 minutes or until the courgettes are very tender. Remove from the heat and let the bubbles subside before blitzing in a food processor or blender until smooth (if you like a really smooth soup, simply pour it through a sieve after blitzing). Pour into a bowl and leave to cool, then cover and chill for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
• To serve, taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve in chilled soup plates with a spoonful of cream drizzled in the middle.
