Tomato Soup

My daughter had grommets fitted this week and I wanted to make some soup in case she was off her food.  So I searched for this recipe on netmums that I have used before.  It's got carrot and red pepper in as well as tomatoes so I like the fact I'm getting a bit extra veg into her!  I include the spices which don't make it spicy but give it a bit more flavour.

1 large carrot, sliced

1 large potato, sliced

1 onion, chopped

1 red pepper

1 tin of chopped tomatoes

2 cloves of garlic, crushed

2 teaspoons of vegetable bouillon powder/ 1 vegetable oxo cube

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 1/4 pints of water

1 teaspoon sugar

Seasoning

1 teaspoon paprika

1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Fry the onions, carrot, potato and red pepper in the olive oil for a couple of minutes until they start to become transparent. 

Add the garlic remembering it doesn't need to be peeled before you crush it!

Add the remaining ingredients and bring up to boiling point and then simmer for 20 minutes or until the vegetables become soft.

 Liquidise and serve! Or pop into tupperware tubs to freeze!
