Tomato, Red Onion and Celery Soup

One 400g tin of Italian plum tomatoes, two sticks of celery, and one medium sized red onion. Plus vegetable stock, Coriander, Basil, Turmeric, Japanese malted rice extract, and white pepper.

The tomatoes were mashed, the onion and celery chopped, and then the main ingredients were blended in water in a saute pan (about one and a half minutes altogether).

Bring to the boil, reduce the heat, and simmer for 45 minutes under glass, stirring occasionally.

Add two pinches of chopped basil, and one of coriander leaf. Add a quarter teaspoon of turmeric, and half a teaspoonful of the malted rice extract (for sweetness).

An easy and tasty dish to make with a standard tin of tomatoes. Fine as it is, but you can add a little cream to make a creamed tomato soup.
