Cream of tomato soup

[Zech]

There's a fabulous recipe for tomato sauce here: http://cakeinthecountry.com/2010/05/08/ ... o-amazing/ (which was pinched from somewhere else, I think, but that's where I found it). For soup, I make that with extra water. If you want it smooth, either blitz or push through a seive. You could add seasonong (garlic, basil, oregano, etc.) but it's very nice with none. The huge quantity of butter gives it a very creamy consistency - not far off Heinz, but better

Well I suppose all that butter is no worse than all that cream......

I do usually try to make my soups as healthy as possible and never use butter, only a bit of olive oil if necessary.

Finished off the tomato soup with a bit of added tinned tomato juice (used toms in pizza base Sunday) with left over reheated garlic bread - why is it both the garlic bread and the soup were much nicer 2nd time around?

It even (almost) smelt like Heinz soup!!!
