Show more commentsMade this tonight and it was delicious!! Very simple but also very good. Will definitely be putting this in my go-to for fresh tomato recipes. Thanks!
I made this for a dinner party on Saturday and it was super easy and was a hit! Definitely will make this again - thanks for sharing!
Cooked this soup yesterday and the outcome ws delicious!!! I am absolutely in love with this recipe! Going to cook it often!
Made this soup with bags of cherry tomatoes that were going cheap. It's gorgeous. The addition of the red pepper and onion and lots of garlic cloves added immensely to the flavour. I sieved my soup to make it smooth I don't like seeds and there was a huge abundance of them but the end result was a pan of beautiful smooth velvety rich tomato soup.
Lovely soup .....like the way you make it too just throw everything in the oven. Agree with the other posts no need to sieve the soup at all!! Get into soup making poster. Definetly making this one again. Great texture and body Mmmmmmmmmm!!
Absolutely the best tomato soup recipe I've tried. I used a drizzle of chilli-infused oil at the roasting stage instead of Tabasco. Like above, I really like a roughly blended, textured soup so pulsed it with a hand blender and deliberately left chunks and seeds. Very nice.
Made this for my daughter who is vegetarian. Packed full of flavour and far more superior to any shop bought soup. I added a couple of cayenne chillis from my garden and used up all the cherry tomatoes from my harvest. I must admit I disagree with the comments above, I like a bit of texture so did not strain. Thank you!
Tried this using cherry tomatoes. Lovely flavours but would strain next time as skins and the odd tomato pip were present in every spoonful - not to everyone's idea of texture.
