the picture doesn't do it justice.
i usually just make up the recipe as i go along when making soup, and it turns out to be flavoured by whatever vegetables i find in my fridge.
recipe:
• peel & chop an onion roughly
• peel a few cloves of garlic, crush with the back of a knife
• heat a little oil or butter in a pan, throw in the onions
• after a minute, add the garlic
• after another minute or two, when the onions start going soft but not brown, chuck in three or four handfuls of small tomatoes, sliced
• season harshly with salt & pepper, put on a lid and turn the heat down a little, continue to cook for a few minutes
• you will now need some broth, i actually used chicken broth (home made, boil the bones & drain), but you can use veg broth or even just boiling water if you don't have anything equivalent
• add the broth and put the lid back on, and if you have any mild herbs, add these now (you can use dried basil, thyme, rosemary, fennel, whatever…)
• let it simmer now for a while to get the flavours going, then wazz it in a blender until it has your desired consistency
• serve hot with a dash of cream, some fresh basil leaves, or some grated cheese sprinkled on top
