Home grown, Home-made Tomato and Chilli Soup

This evening I decided that I should probably use some of my home grown produce, and what could be more perfect than a gorgeous home made soup! This is my recipe for the soup:

Ingredients

Around 25/30 cherry tomatoes
A red onion
1 or 2 chillies (depending on how you like it) 
Tin of tomato juice
Small tube of single cream 
2tsps of vinegar
2tbsps of sugar
I also added a carrot for thickness (chopped and boiled)
Salt and pepper to taste

1) Roast the tomatoes and red onion in a little oil for 15 mins, gas mark 7
2) Add to saucepan, chuck in chopped chillies and carrots
3) Use a hand held food processor to create a thin paste. My tomatoes contained a lot of seeds, so I just sieved it into another pan.
4) Next add your tin of tomato juice and cream. Return to heat. 
5) Add in vinegar and sugar to taste. 

There you have a simple but perfect tomato and chilli soup. Next time I won't be using so many chillies! Still, wonderful for a rubbish English evening.
