Winter is still here and soup seasoning continues.

I have the easiest simplest and most delicious tomato soup recipe for you all to cook. The flavour is simply divine because I am using good quality vine tomatoes that I roast with the vine !

Vine tomatos have an extra edge when it comes to flavour and when roasting they become simply delicious. All the natural sweetness is caramelised giving it a beautiful taste. You MUST add the vine when roasting along with the garlic, because the vine has that special smell that can be transformed into your soup, that distinct tomato smell, this is the magic, along with roasted garlic!

Now if you do not have vine tomatoes you can use or mix a variety of tomatoes, it will not have the rich intense flavour but it will work well.
