Recipe For Tomato Soup Mary Berry

I think it’s really important to have a number of very simple recipes nailed down. It’s the beginnings of knowing what to have for dinner when you get home, rather than your mind going blank. From these simple dishes you can create quick and easy meals and then add different flavours for twists on the dish to keep it interesting.

If you’ve got a decent tomato soup recipe in your cooking arsenal then you are sorted for an easy and light mid-week meal. When you’re tired after work, a lovely bowl of rich tomato soup with buttery rustic bread is one of life’s true simple pleasures.

This recipe is inspired by the Mary Berry tomato soup recipe from her ‘Cooks the Perfect’ book. This tomato soup recipe is a great foundation to then build out flavours, such as a tomato and basil soup. Depending on how much time you have you can make tomato soup as simple or as gourmet as you like. That’s the beauty of it.

How To Make Mary Berry Inspired Butternut Squash Soup

Tomato soup with fresh tomatoes is a must, whichever way you make it. And for me, the extra effort (which I’m not sure can even be called effort because it’s so easy) of roasting tomatoes is invaluable for making the depth of flavour skyrocket.

So, this soup inspired by the Mary Berry tomato soup recipe has beautiful base of roasted tomatoes, and is finished with fresh basil and a dash of double cream.

The Mary Berry tomato soup recipe calls for sieving the tomatoes to ensure a smooth texture. In addition to a few ingredient tweaks I have also chosen to skip this step from my own roasted tomato soup to avoid food wastage, and to keep things easy. Blending the soup removes all lumps if desired.

Preheat your oven to 200c and in a large, deep roasting tray scatter the tomatoes, onion and minced garlic. Drizzle over the olive oil and season well with salt and pepper. Roast for 35 minutes until you have lovely soft roasted tomatoes and onion.

Remove the tray from the oven and add the tomatoes and onion to a pot along with the vegetable stock, tomato purée and basil leaves to the tray. Stir to combine the ingredients and bring up to heat on medium.

Serve in bowls and to make it look ultra delicious finish with a drizzle of cream and a twist of cracked black pepper. (Tip for the cream: use a chopstick or skewer to swirl the cream nicely into the soup)

Mary Berry's 'quick, Easy And Delicious' Tomato Soup Takes Just 10 Minutes To Make

The Mary Berry recipe calls for the tomatoes to be passed through a seive. This will give you that clean and classic ultra smooth soup, but it also creates an awful lot of food waste. I prefer to keep all of the tomato and goodness. I also love a soup with a little texture to it.

When cooking simple dishes, their success hangs on the ingredients being great. Tomato soup with fresh tomatoes is a must, and vine ripened tomatoes are ideal; they are so much sweeter and flavoursome.

To ensure your tomatoes are even tastier, avoid putting them in the fridge and instead let them sit in a bowl on a sunny windowsill to ripen and sweeten. This is a great trick for all tomatoes, so if you choose loose tomatoes rather than vine ripened (they are a lot cheaper) then this is a great way to help maximise the flavour in them.

You know the saying – you eat with your eyes! But you also eat with your heart. The experience of food is so much more than the flavour and I think soup needs to conjure feelings of comfort. It’s a nostalgic, soothing meal and every aspect of how you serve it can enhance that feeling.
