Tomato soup is a super popular dish in the UK, most commonly eaten for lunch or dinner during the winter months.<\/p>\n
It is rich in vitamins when homemade and can be paired with croutons or hot slices of buttery toast.<\/p>\n
Mary Berry shared her tomato soup recipe with BBC Good Food and it is ready in just four easy steps.<\/p>\n
The description of the recipe reads: \u201cMary Berry\u2019s tomato soup is quick, easy and delicious.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, it is one of her family’s favourite recipes, as she always has the ingredients in the cupboard. With no onions to chop or tomatoes to skin, it really is ready in 10 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Add in the garlic and fry for a few seconds, until they start to change colour.<\/p>\n Next, add in the sun-dried and tinned tomatoes, stock and sugar, and bring to the boil, stirring consistently.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> We use your sign-up to provide content in ways you’ve consented to and to improve our understanding of you.

The sugar brings out the flavour of the tomatoes and helps balance their acidity – sometimes they can be a little bitter. The basil pesto adds a lovely flavour, but this soup is still very good without it.\u201d<\/p>\n This recipe serves between six and eight people so it is also perfect for large families or if you have any guests over.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
