Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a saucepan over a low heat. Add the onion, carrot and celery and fry for 8-10 mins until tender, but don’t let them brown too much. Add the passata and tomatoes and bring to the boil. Add the stock, 200ml water and a pinch of sugar, then season and simmer for 20 mins. Taste the soup and adjust the seasoning – add more water if you need to. Can be frozen at this point.

  • step 2

    Stir in the cream (if using) and the cooked pasta. Spoon into two or three bowls and top with cheese, basil or pesto – or all three.

If you wanted to try the roasted tomato version you mention in a previous response, do you just roast fresh tomatoes with some olive oil before adding?

A great recipe, especially if you have a sore throat! Very soothing and tasty, I used normal sized bow tie pasta and ladled the soup over the top. I blitzed half the soup in a blender to give it a smoother finish and omitted the cream. Yum!

Quality soup! Added basil and grated parmesan to serve (didn’t use cream). Also stuck in a few celery leaves. Highly recommend.

Superb. Chucked in some roasted red peppers and used a mixture cherry and tinned tomatoes as I was doubling the quantities. Blended lightly with a stick blender and chucked in some sourced cream before serving with some green pesto. Didn’t include the pasta.

Lively and rich and creamy. Very easy…
