Starters Recipes - Tomato Soup Recipe

Melt the butter in a large saucepan. Add the tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes until the skins start to wrinkle. Add the stock to the pan, bring to the boil, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Lightly toast the almonds under a medium grill until they are golden brown.

Remove the soup from the heat, pour into a blender or food processor and blend until smooth. Pass the soup through a sieve to remove any tomato skin or pips.

Place the soup back in the pan and reheat. Stir in the milk, almonds and sugar. Serve hot.
