Pre prepare your veg. Chop your onion and garlic, your peppers and half your cherry tomatoes. Contrary to popular methods, I don’t roast my vegetables, of all the soups I’ve ever made with various methods, I have never been able to tell the difference from pre roasting veg. Instead, I add the peppers to the onion and garlic and sauté in a large sauce pan for 5 minutes.
I then add the tomatoes, stock and bay leaves. I could add a tonne of different herbs and spices to this dish but sometimes less is more and bay leaves do a wonderful job of grounding the eccentric flavours of the peppers, I don’t feel this recipe needs any more flavour but feel free to experiment.
Let your soup simmer and reduce for 30 minutes before blending well, you can either do this with an immersion blender or a food processor. This soup freezes really well so if you batch make this recipe, wait for the soup to cool and transfer to containers ready for freezing. If your eating now, ladle into a bowl and top with wholemeal maple croutons or crème fraiche.
