YOU WILL NEED : (Serves 4)
6 large fresh tomatoes
(skin left on)
2 red onions
1 clove garlic
250ml passata
1 low salt stock cube
1 tablespoon low salt soy sauce
1 tablespoon artificial granular sweetener
1 sprig fresh basil
black pepper to taste
1 litre or 2 pints water
(For soup makers, fill to the maximum level once vegetables have been added)
To Garnish;
(This amount is for all 4 bowls)
2 teaspoons half fat cream
(For Filling & Healthy or Simple Start, substitute for Quark or 0% fat yoghurt)

2 teaspoons skimmed/soya milk
Fresh basil leaf/chopped chives
***
Chop the onions and tomatoes into quarters then pop them with all of the soup ingredients into a pan or soup-maker if you have one.
Bring to the boil and simmer for 20-30 minutes, then blend until smooth using a hand blender.
(If using a soup-maker, choose the blended setting).
Taste and season again. This is really important-some people prefer it a little sweeter, others more tangy or peppery.
To serve, mix the half fat cream/quark/yoghurt with the milk to thin it slightly. You can just drizzle the cream from a teaspoon to make a random swirl which will sit beautifully on the surface…
...If you're feeling 'cheffy', simply drag a cocktail stick through the cream swirls to make a feathered finish.
(Don't worry about blobs or imperfections-it will still look great!)
Finally top with a single basil leaf or some chopped chives and tuck in!

TIPS
You could make this into a creamy soup by adding milk, yoghurt or half fat cream to your personal taste. Add the pp/kcal according to the amount you add.
*
To transform this into a filling meal, cook some pasta in the soup so that it soaks up all the flavours.
Remember to add the propoints/kcal for this.
(If on Filling & Healthy or Simple Start just use wholewheat pasta freely)
