Ingredients

Roasted tomato soup:

  • 1kg tomatoes, ripe

  • 1 carrot, peeled and diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 bunch of basil, small, separated into leaves and stalks
  • 600ml of vegetable stock

Dumplings:

  • 2 slices of bread, crumbled, or approximately 55g of breadcrumbs

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C/gas mark 5. Cut the tomatoes in half and arrange cut-side up in a baking dish. Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Bake for approximately 1 hour, until the tomatoes are totally soft and beginning to char around the edges.

  4. Add the roasted tomatoes and vegetable stock to the pan. Stir, bring to a boil, then simmer for about 10-20 minutes until the carrots are very soft.
  5. Blend the soup, then gently reheat.
  6. Prepare the dumplings by mixing all ingredients into a moist doughy mix. Shape into small balls.
  7. Add the dumplings to the hot soup and simmer for 10 minutes with a lid on.
  8. Ladle the soup and dumplings into bowls and garnish with cheddar cheese and fresh basil leaves before serving.
