Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper & Chorizo Soup with basil leaf garnish.

Yesterday I found myself with a glut of vine tomatoes, peppers and a pack of chorizo. Knowing that I had to go to my son’s school in the evening I decided to make this Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper and Chorizo Soup that I could quickly re-heat. I had tried making a roasted tomato soup before but without stock and it was a let down.

This time I opted for chicken stock to give a bit more back bone and lemon juice and sugar to give a sharp/sweet intensity.

I used Eschalion shallots because I happened to have them but you could use red onions.

Roasting the garlic cloves in their skins prevented them from burning and produced little squishy pods of sweet lusciousness.

I was really pleased with the way my Roasted Tomato, Red Pepper and Chorizo Soup turned out. It’s definitely one to have as part of a main meal and not a starter! There’s a bit of sweet/sour thing going on with a basil back note and then the chunks of pepper, tomato and chorizo are just divine when you hit them!

We had our soup with a big warm crusty loaf and not only was it delicious but filling too! The only person not so keen was my young daughter as she doesn’t like spicy chorizo – but the more you give you children different foods they will eventually learn to eat them so I persevere!

As this tomato soup uses herbs I am entering it into Lavender & Lovage’s Cooking with Herbs event which is being hosted by Lancashire Food this month. I’m also entering it into Ren Behan’s Simple & in Season as tomatoes are definitely in season! Over at Four Seasons Food the theme is red and is being hosted by The Spicy Pear and founded by Eat Your Veg and Delicieux!

The No Waste Food Challenge is next as I used up my tomatoes & peppers and is being hosted by Utterly Scrummy and originates from Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary. Finally I’m also entering Extra Veg which is again hosted by Utterly Scrummy who runs it jointly with Fuss Free Flavours.

    I love this soup, so filling, tasty and moreish. The roasted veg smells divine cooking away in the oven. I added some warm black olives on serving as well.
