You say tomato, I say tomato

What we have here is a roasted tray of delishiousness that once it meets a blender will give you a great soup that can give you some vitamin C whilst the clouds remain gray. For this you will need the following:

500g cherry tomatoes (kept whole)

2 large red peppers (roughly chopped up)

Large red onion (in quarters)

4 cloves of garlic (bruised and kept in the case)

4 tbsp balsamic vinegar

2 tbsp water

Half a tin of chopped tomatoes

400ml vegetable stock

Two tbsp of freshly chopped green herbs (I used flat leaf parsley and tarragon but basil etc would be perfect)

Salt and pepper

Put all of the vegetables in an ovenproof dish with the balsamic vinegar and water and season. Cook for about forty five minutes. Stir them every so often so they don't burn, browning is great, but we don't want anything too charred.

When the veg comes out of the oven add the stock, tinned tomatoes and fresh herbs and blitz in a blender.

It will be pretty thick so if you want you can add more stock. Put everything into a saucepan and cook it through so it is hot enough to serve.
