With all this snow, warmth is needed. And what is better than tomato soup? Am I the only one who was fed Heinz Cream of Tomato soup as a child? So comforting!

Tomato Soup

1 onion, chopped
1 stick of celery, chopped
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 tin of tomatoes
1 tbs tomato ketchup
about 500ml vegetable stock
Cream to serve

Fry the onion and celery in a knob of butter or oil until translucent, then add the tomatoes and stock to cover the vegetables. Simmer for 15 minutes. Puree in a blender and serve with a swirl of cream and some parsely to garnish. Mmmm!
