Ingredients
- 400 g vine ripe tomatoes
- 1 red pepper quartered and cored
- olive oil
- 1 vegetable stock I use gluten free Knorr Stock Pots [see notes for alternatives]
- 500 ml boiled water
- 1 clove garlic (powder, puree or clove) Ideally a clove so you can roast it with the vegetables
- 1 tsp dried or chopped fresh basil
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Pop the tomatoes (I keep mine on the vine) and pepper quarters on a baking tray with some olive oil and seasoning and roast for 30 mins at 220°C | 200°C fan | 400°F | Gas 6
- Make your vegetable stock by following the instructions- typically you add the stock cube or jelly to a 1ltr jug and pour over 500ml of boiled water
- Once roasted, place the tomatoes and pepper, roasted garlic clove, basil, and 500ml of vegetable stock and seasoning into a blender and pulse until smooth. I normally use my hand blender for this - less washing up.
- If eating immediately pour into soup bowls and enjoy with your favourite gluten free bread.
- If saving for later pour into your sterilised jar or Tupperware and seal immediately
- Allow to cool completely before putting in the fridge.
Notes
To reheat your soups simple pop in the microwave until heated through or bring to the desired heat in a saucepan.
Enjoy with a delicious gluten free crusty roll plastered in dairy free spread!
Gluten Free Stock Cubes
I always use Knorr Rich Beef Stock pots in this chilli con carne but there are other versions of stock by Knorr that are also gluten free. I find the stock pots are often on multi-buy special offer so only buy them when this is the case. NOTE: gravy pots are NOT gluten free. Other stock pots are OXO who now have gluten free stock pots (not cubes, these are not currently gluten free). Kallo do gluten free stock cubes and granules and Marigold make gluten free and vegan Bouillon.
