December 4, Rich Tomato Soup (...or is it Pasta Sauce)

I'm coming down with a cold so... tonight I'm making nice hot soup that's quick and easy to make.

Method

Tip tin of tomatoes into a small saucepan and bring to boil.
Wizz stick tomatoes. If you don't have a wizz stick a food processor will do the trick or go manual labour and mash after mixture has simmered (results may vary).
Reduce temperature, add in tomato paste, garlic, mixed herb, oregano and cheese and simmer for 5 minutes.
Pour into a bowl top with croutons, grated Parmesan and parsley (for decoration :D).
(serves 2)



Croutons

Tonight I cut a bread crust into crouton sized pieces, placed then on a tinfoil lined tray, brushed on a little canola oil, seasoned with a little salt and thyme then grilled them till they were crunchy.

Alternatives

For a tasty pasta dish pour mixture over cooked pasta then top with grated tasty cheese.
If you would prefer a thinner soup just skip the tomato paste.
