Ingredients

Directions

  1. Place chopped onions, young carrots, and tomatoes in a large saucepan.
  2. Add 750ml of stock and a bouquet garni to the pan.
  3. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender.
  4. Remove the bouquet garni and discard.
  5. Blend the soup mixture until completely smooth using a blender or food processor.
  6. For a finer texture, sieve the soup back into the pan.
  7. Taste and season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg if desired.
  8. Add remaining stock if a thinner consistency is preferred.
  9. For hot serving: Heat 300ml cream in a separate clean pan just until boiling.
  10. Gradually whisk the hot cream into the soup to prevent curdling.
  11. For cold serving: Stir cream into cooled soup and chill thoroughly.
  12. Serve sprinkled with chopped fresh basil or chives.
