Even lazier soup..?!

Following on from Lazy Soup, I thought I would share another quick and easy, and possibly even lazier soup recipe…

This is what you need:

• an onion-chopped
• 1-2tsp oil (any-olive/vegetable etc)
• 2 tins chopped tomatoes
• few basil leaves, or some thyme (optional)
• cream/mascarpone/cream cheese (optional)

This is what you do:

• Heat the oil in a medium-ish saucepan
• Add the onion and cook over a low heat for 5-10minutes until softened
• Add the tinned tomatoes-half fill each empty tin with water, swill around and then empty into the saucepan
• Chuck in the herbs if using
• Bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10 minutes, or as long as  it takes you to do whatever else you are doing..
• Turn off the heat, blitz with a stick blender
• Add a splash of cream/mascarpone./cream cheese/sour cream/ whatever you have in the fridge that needs using up
• Season to taste
• Enjoy!

(Apologies for the lack of a photo of the finished article-forgot to take one-oops! I’m sure you can imagine what a bowl of tomato soup looks like though….)
