Ingredients

  • Garlic Clove: 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • Basil Leaf: basil leaves, to serve
  • Vegetable Stock: 500ml turkey or vegetable stock
  • Soured Cream: 142ml pot soured cream
  • Sugar: 1 tsp sugar, any type, or more to taste
  • Butter: 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
  • Pesto: 125g pot fresh basil pesto
  • Plum Tomato: 3 x 400g cans plum tomatoes
  • Sunblush Tomato: 5 soft sun-dried or SunBlush tomatoes in oil, roughly chopped

Directions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
