Tomato, Sweet Potato and Pepper Soup

This recipe is really easy to make. No frying veg off first, just simply pop the veg in your oven or air fryer first and then into a pan with the liquid and bring to the boil then simmer for about 5 mins.

You can vary the ingredients, however the tomato and garlic is the real key here.

Makes 3-4 bowls.

You’ll need:

6-8 large vine tomatoes sliced in half (mine were Lidl organic range)

1 sweet potato, no need to peel, chopped into 2cm pieces (M&S at Ocado)

3-4 cloves of garlic, skins on

1/3 pepper, roughly chopped (I used the left over tops from our salad that week) (M&S at Ocado)

A splash of balsamic vinegar (I used Mr Organic, it’s absolutely amazing)

Salt to taste

100ml of cream or vegan equivalent

350ml of water or more if you want it thinner/less for thicker

A drizzle of good oil to gently roast the veg (I used organic olive)

A sprinkling of herbs to serve (I used oregano we bought on our travels in Jordan last year)

How to:

Roast all of the veg on a tray drizzled with oil. I used a 180c air fryer on ‘bake’ and roasted for about 25 mins

Leave to cool and then pop the garlic out of their skins, discard the skins

Tip everything into a pan with the salt and vinegar, add half of the water

Bring to the boil then simmer for about five mins or so

Add the cream, give it a blitz with a hand blender, then you can add more water to work it to the consistency you like

Sprinkle with herbs and a drizzle of cream if you like

This keeps in the fridge, covered, for 2-3 days quite happily. I make it on a Saturday and we eat on Monday in-between sessions at lunch.
