It hit the SW scene a while ago now and caused a great sensation, partly because it's dead easy and partly because it really is pretty tasty and many reckon it's just like Heinz tomato soup.
It's been reproduced so many times all over the Internet so I have no qualms about posting the recipe in here.
Tomato
‘just like Heinz’ soup
Ingredients to make about six portions (depending on how big they are)
2 cans tomatoes
1 can baked beans
1 can carrots, drained
3 or 4 pickled onions
A good spoonful of stock (like
Marigold)
half pint of water
My modifications
squidge of garlic puree
tomato puree
Method
Put everything in a pan, simmer for 15
mins, blend and push through a sieve (this last is my addition - I always push tomato soup through a sieve to get rid of the last little fibrous bits and make it perfectly smooth).
Check seasonings and adjust if necessary
Jazz up with some milk, lea and perrins,
etc, if you like. To make it taste really creamy, add a lump of quark and mix in (or blend in) well - but make sure you don't then reheat to boiling as the quark will split.
Slimming World free, suitable for those doing SP, dead easy and it freezes well too. And it's pretty good value too, especially in comparison with the bought cans of tomato soup; all the more so if you use value versions of the beans, tomatoes and carrots. You can even get value picked onions!
Wow, actually sounds great, and really easy. I've got a jar of pickled onions that's been languishing in the cupboard for months and months - possibly even years. I'd never have thought of putting them in a soup! Thanks Joy. xx
ReplyDeleteI suppose, when you think about it, they are really just onions! And we use onions for all sorts of stuff, don't we?
