Ingredients
- Butter: 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
- Sunblush Tomato: 5 soft sun-dried or SunBlush tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped
- Plum Tomato: 3 x 400g cans plum tomatoes
- Vegetable Stock: 500ml turkey or vegetable stock
- Sugar: 1 tsp sugar, any type, or more to taste
- Soured Cream: 142ml pot soured cream
- Pesto: 125g pot fresh basil pesto
- Basil Leaf: basil leaves, to serve
Directions
- Heat the butter or oil in a large pan, then add the garlic and soften for a few mins over a low heat. Add the sun-dried or SunBlush tomatoes, canned tomatoes, stock, sugar and seasoning, then bring to a simmer. Let the soup bubble for 10 mins until the tomatoes have broken down a little.
- Whizz with a stick blender, adding half the pot of soured cream as you go. Taste and adjust the seasoning - add more sugar if you need to. Serve in bowls with 1 tbsp or so of the pesto swirled on top, a little more soured cream and scatter with basil leaves.
