Ingredients
2 tbsp olive oil
½ onion , finely chopped
1 small carrot , finely chopped
1 celery stick , finely chopped
100ml passata
400g can peeled tomatoes or 4 large ripe tomatoes
½ vegetable or chicken stock melt or cube
2 tbsp cream (optional)
100g orzo or soup pasta, cooked until al dente
shaved parmesan , chopped basil or pesto, and breadsticks, to serve
Method
STEP 1
Heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and fry for 8-10 mins until tender, but don’t let them brown too much. Add the passata and tomatoes and bring to the boil. Add the stock, 200ml water and a pinch of sugar, then season and simmer for 20 mins. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning – add more water if you need to. Can be frozen at this point.
STEP 2
Stir in the cream (if using) and the cooked pasta. Spoon into two or three bowls and top with cheese, basil or pesto – or all three.
