Creamy Fresh Tomato Soup

Feeling a bit nippy today so decided to make soup for lunch as I had a bunch of fresh tomatoes to use up.

Looking online for a tomato soup recipe all I could find was ones using tinned tomatoes. So I decided to just make up my own.

Ingredients:
1 large onion
13 (or near to it) fresh tomatoes
1ltr boiled water
2 kallo organic vegetable stock cubes
Tsp garlic powder
Tsp dried basil
3 tbs nutritional yeast flakes

Chop the onion and place in the cooking pot with 1 or 2 cups of water and cook on full heat. While the onions are cooking, chop and de-seed the tomatoes. I used 13 as that is how many I had, but I would recommend using at least 10.
When all tomatoes have had the seeds removed, add to the onions. Add the garlic powder, dried basil and nutritional yeast flakes and stir together.
Using 2 vegetable stock cubes (i recommend kallo organic as they have less salt than other brands) add these to a 1ltr jug and fill with boiling water. When stock cubes dissolved, add to the cooking pot, stir and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to simmer for about 30 mins and then using a hand blender, blend until creamy and smooth.
Add salt and pepper to taste if required but personally I don't think it needs it.
This soup is so much nicer than anything you get from a tin and its really creamy even though there is no cream. The nutritional yeast flakes give it the creamy texture.

This should make 5 or 6 portions, so share with friends or keep in fridge for quick easy lunch for a couple of days.

If you reheat, do so on the hob in a small saucepan, microwaves kill all the nutrients and take away the flavor.

Enjoy :)
