Ingredients:
- 1.5 (ish) kg tomatoes
- 1 capsicum
- olive oil
- salt & pepper
- 1 onion
- 250g bacon
- 1 really good tsp garlic
- 2 zucchinis
- 1 good handful of fresh basil (or a few tsp of dried)
- 2 tsp chicken stock powder
Method:
Halve tomatoes, cut capsicum into strips and arrange on a baking tray. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and season heavily. Chuck in the oven at 180 deg cel for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or until tomato is just browning. Fry up bacon and onion with garlic then add in everything else and 1L water. Boil until zucchini is tender then zoom it smooth(ish) with a whizzy stick thing. This is beautiful as is or beautiful topped with a dollop of cream or sour cream.
The Ramblings:
Matt was away last night so to entertain myself I got a bit kitchen creative. After being supremely naughty yesterday (sampling all sorts of goodies) I really didn’t need a big tea so decided on soup. I used the last of Lisha’s beautiful home grown tomatoes and am feeling very very spoiled having fresh herbs on hand!
Ps. Goes beautifully with a glass of red and a night of knitting and NCIS!
