I started this blog for my daughters when they left home. I wanted to share a few easy, cheap and favourite recipes with them. Now ten years later, it's just where I put my favourite recipes.

Roasted Tomato and Red Pepper Soup with Vodka



Really easy and delicious starter for supper party
These quantities serve 6.

Ingredients
1.4kg very ripe tomatoes
2 red peppers, deseeded and chopped
4 garlic cloves, crushed
3 small onions, sliced

Drizzle with olive oil and roast for 25 mins.  Turn the vegetables and cook for a further 25 mins until tender and slightly charred.  Put one third of veg in a blender with 1/2 pint of boiled water and add Worcestershire sauce, vodka and salt and pepper.  Blend till smooth and pour through a sieve into a pan.  Blend remaining veg with 3/4 pint of water and that's it.  Heat through and stir in cream when ready to serve.
