Day 1 - Roasted Red Pepper & Tomato Soup

This is the beginning of our challenge of cooking a different meal everyday for 365 days! Just a brief introduction - my name is Hannah, I'm 22 years old and my partner Rikki, who will also be taking part in the challenge is 26 years old. We have a nearly 3 month old baby daughter named Eliza. Rikki works as a chef and I am currently on maternity leave so I'm a full time Mummy :). Our first recipe is a soup recipe, we often make homemade soup for dinner & feel it's very underrated! So here it is, the first recipe:

ROASTED RED PEPPER & TOMATO SOUP WITH TOMATO CIABATTA. (v)
Serves: 2 people
Cooking Time: 25-30 minutes

2 Large Red Peppers
4 Large Tomatoes
1 Clove of Garlic
750ml of Vegetable Stock
3 Fresh Basil Leaves
Olive oil
Ciabatta Bread
Salt & Pepper

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • Chop the red pepper into large strips, place on an oven tray, drizzle with olive oil & put in the oven for 15 minutes.
  • Roughly chop the tomatoes and put into the food blender with the vegetable stock, garlic, roasted red pepper and basil - Blend.
  • Put the soup in a pan on the hob to simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile put the ciabatta slices on an oven tray and drizzle with olive oil & put in the oven for approximately 7 minutes or until it has a crunch.
  • Then rub the ciabatta slices with half a tomato & serve!
