Yay! It’s soup season :)
This one is clean, healthy, delicious and dairy free. I hope you get a chance to make it!
Red Pepper & Tomato Soup
2 or 3 red peppers
6 ripe tomatoes, chopped
1 tin of tomatoes (I used a block of my home roasted tomatoes from the freezer for extra flavour)
I onion, chopped
3 cloves of garlic, chopped
1/2 litre of stock
Sauté the onion, pepper & garlic in a tablespoon of oil for about 5 minutes. Add all the other ingredients, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Purée with a stick blender, or allow to cool a little before pouring into a food processor to whizz it smooth.
Season with salt & pepper and serve with fresh bread and lashings of butter :)
This soup is quite thick, if you’d like it thinner, just add more stock or freshly boiled water from the kettle.

“used a block of my home roasted tomatoes from the freezer for extra flavour” !!!! Love your site, just found ya! Hi there. REALLY interested to know if you describe this process on your site somewhere. THANKS!
Hi Lorilei, funny you should ask that! Here’s a link to my divine roasted tomatoes http://hedgecombers.com/2012/09/16/roasted-tomatoes/
Once roasted & cooled, either whizz them in a blender to make a thick tasty sauce, or freeze them as is to use in any recipe requiring a tin of tomatoes.
Hope you enjoy them, and thanks for taking the time to comment!

Thank you! I’m behind on processing home grown tomatoes and gettin really tired of the canning. Plus I love roasted canned tomatoes better than regular. Keep up the good works. BTW, loved your knowledge base and sharing on Muscovies! No birds yet, have to build a Fort Knox do to predators for chicks, ducks whatever first. Plus, my 34 yr old son hates…..”messy” and he knows full well ducks are messy. Soooo, what to do.
I know what you mean, I’ll be glad to see the back of the tomato crop this year!
Tricky re the ducks. They certainly are a messy bird, I guess it doesn’t affect us so much, as ours are down the bottom of a field, living on an island in a large pond! But they are wonderful birds with lovely temperaments, I’d be hard pushed to swap them for a more productive laying duck (which in all honesty, I probably should!)
:)
I love this recipe – it’s so warming yet simple to make. Also, I just love soups and stews! The photo is great too with the wooden plate and spoon – it gives it a rustic feel.
Thank you Louise! And thanks for popping by :)
