Soul in a Bowl / Tomato and pea soup
By Doram Gaunt
Tags: Recipes

The quality of the soup depends, as usual, on the use of a good stock. If you shorten the process and use a prepackaged soup mix, use as little as possible (and much less than the package recommends).

Ingredients (serves four to six):

3 tbls. olive oil
2

medium onions, peeled and diced
800 gr. peeled tomatoes ?(a large-sized can of peeled tomatoes will do?), chopped coarsely
1 tbl. sugar
1 liter beef or chicken stock
2 cups of peas ?(frozen will do?)
1 tbl. lemon juice
Finely ground zest from half a lemon
Salt and pepper
A small bunch of dill, chopped

Preparation

Heat the olive oil and add the chopped onions. Saute lightly until soft, but not golden. Add the tomatoes and cook for a minute or two. Add the sugar and the stock, and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over a low flame for about 20 minutes. Puree the soup in the pot with a stick-blender (if you don't have one, a regular blender or food processor will do). Bring to a boil again and add the peas. Cook until almost finished, 3 to 5 minutes. Season with lemon juice, zest, salt and pepper. Pour into bowls and sprinkle over with a little chopped dill.
