Recipe video above. This is a Smoky Roasted Tomato Soup that tastes terrific even if your tomatoes aren't at the height of ripe, seasonal perfection - so imagine how spectacular it will be when they are! It's incredibly simple to make - just blitz up roasted tomatoes and garlic with vegetable stock. It has a lovely hint of smoky flavour from smoked paprika and by taking the tomatoes a little further in the oven to get charred edges.Bonus: Super healthy, at just 240 calories a serving!
