ingredients
- 2 onions, chopped
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 25 g butter
- 750 g tomatoes, chopped
- 4 tablespoons flour
- 1 liter chicken stock (or vegetable stock, or water)
- 1 garlic clove, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt (if your stock is already salted, then you don't need this)
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 black peppercorns
- 250 ml single cream
directions
- Melt the butter in a pan and soften the onions and carrot for about 15 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for a minute. Add the tomatoes, stock, garlic, salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to the boil and simmer for about 90 minutes. Leave to cool.
- Take the soup, a ladleful at a time and force it through a sieve, pushing the soft vegetables through with the back of a spoon. This removes all the seeds and tomato skin. No, whizzing it through a blender is no subsitute. It doesn't take long and isn't as tedious as it sounds.
- Return to the heat, add the cream and check for seasoning.
- Serve, with a sprinkling of chopped chives.
