• 450g ripe tomatoes, cut into quarters
• 1 onion, very finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, crushed
• 2tbsp olive oil
• Pinch of caster sugar
• 400g can Asda thick cut chopped tomatoes
• 450-550ml vegetable stock

1 Preheat the oven to 200C/ Gas 6. Put the tomatoes in a roasting pan, scatter over the onion and garlic, then drizzle with the olive oil and sprinkle over the sugar. Roast for 25 to 35 minutes, until the onion is cooked, stirring all together halfway through.

2 Put the roasted tomatoes into a food processor, add the canned tomatoes and whizz together until smooth.

3 Pour the puréed tomato into a pan and add enough of the stock to give the soup the consistency you’d like. Bring to the boil, then simmer for 5 minutes, until piping hot. Serve with crusty bread rolls.

4 Health Tip - Tomatoes contain lots of lycopene, which is thought to help guard against certain types of cancer, including prostate, lung and stomach cancer. And cooking the tomatoes, as in this soup, is even better as it allows the lycopene to be easily absorbed by the body.
