ROASTED CAPSICUM SOUP
This is a delicious soup you can serve to lunch guests.
Good pinch of sea salt & little cracked black pepper
375ml Campbell's Real Stock-Vegetable
2 tablespoons pitted & chopped Kalamata olives
Method:
Place the capsicum and tomatoes into a large baking dish lined
with baking paper. Place the onion and garlic in amongst the
capsicum and tomatoes.
Sprinkle with salt and pepper and pour over the oil massaging it
into all the ingredients. Bake at 200°C for 45 minutes or until
capsicum is well roasted, turning once or twice.
Place capsicum into a plastic bag, seal and let stand for 5
minutes. Remove skin from the capsicum and place capsicum flesh
into a food processor or blender, along with the tomatoes and
all their juices. Squeeze out the garlic from its skin and add
basil leaves and then process to a fine puree.
Transfer capsicum mixture into a medium sized saucepan along
with the Campbell’s Real Stock Vegetable. Bring to the simmer
and cook until hot.
Pour soup into bowls, top with chopped olives and a drizzling of
extra virgin olive oil and serve with savoury zucchini muffins.
BUDGETTING TIP: This is an incredibly cheap meal to put
together. But it can be even cheaper if you grow the tomatoes,
capsicum and basil yourself. Check out your local garden shop
for help on how to do this.
LEFTOVER TIP: If you’ve got any soup left over, drain some of
the juice and toss in some chopped zucchini and a couple more
tomatoes. Sautée the ingredients and serve with cooked spaghetti
for a delicious ratatouille.
