Easy Tomato Soup

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon(s) extra-virgin olive oil
• 2 medium red onions (finely chopped)
• 3 clove(s) garlic (finely chopped)
• pinch red chili flakes
• 4.5 lbs organic tomatoes (chopped into medium-sized chunks)
• 1 tablespoon(s) fresh thyme
• 1 tablespoon(s) fresh oregano
• 28.9 oz vegetable broth
• salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions:

1. Heat the oil in a heavy- bottomed pan.

2. Chop the onions and the garlic very finely and add to the oil along with the chilli flakes. Sauté gently over a low heat for five minutes.

3. Meanwhile, chop the tomatoes into medium- sized chunks.

4. Turn up the heat and add the tomatoes, the thyme and the oregano to the pan. Stir well and continue to cook for about two minutes.

5. Pour the vegetable broth into the pan and allow the soup to quickly come to the boil. Reduce the heat, and simmer gently for half an hour.

6. Puree the soup in batches and return to the pan. Make sure that the soup is not too thin. It should remain a little chunky.

7. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary.

8. Continue to cook for a final ten minutes.
