Home-made healthy tomato and pepper soup, with bruschetta on the side.

I have enormous love for Italian and Spanish food, so my mum recently took me to a little Italian café  called Corelli. It serves delicious food and drink, such as soups, sandwiches, fresh smoothies and juices... I decided to order their tomato and pepper soup, and immediately fell in love. The very next day my mum and I decided to re-create our own... & it turned out beautifully.

  • 2-3 red and yellow peppers

  2. Put the onion and olive oil into a pan and fry the onions until they are golden.
  3. When the onions are golden add half a glass of water with vegetable stock. Whilst doing this, add a mixture of basil pesto and/or fresh basil. 
  4. Once the fried vegetables are soft add them to the pan with 2tbsp of tomato puree, and cook for 20 minutes. During this time add some fresh parsley. 
  5. After the 20 minutes are up, blend the contents of the soup together and then cook for another 20 minutes.
