This month Dom and Jac * have teamed up to challenge us to pick a random veggie soup recipe and prepare it for your enjoyment (and ours of course!). Dom has allowed us to choose our own method of randomising (?) our recipe, so I decided I would choose the first book to hand and cook the first soup recipe for which I had all the ingredients in stock.
I have been using Catherine Fulvio's Family Kitchen alot recently and her Roasted Yellow Pepper Soup and Tomato Soup looked delicious but there are pepper allergies in this house so I made her Tomato soup all on it's own, and combined it with her Soda Focaccia, and all I can say is it was the easiest, tastiest lunch I have had in ages. The sundried tomatoes in the soup really intensify the flavour - skrummy stuff.
*Dom and Jac - don't present a children's TV show!! They write two excellent blogs - really worth visiting if you haven't already done so.
Tomato Soup
from Catherine Fulvio
extra virgin olive oil
2 garlic cloves, sliced
2 sundried tomatoes, chopped
1 potato, peeled and chopped
1 x 400g tin chopped tomatoes
300ml vegetable stock
2 tsp chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper
Fry the garlic and sundried tomatoes in some olive oil for a minute.
Stir in the potato, tomatoes and stock and bring to the boil.
Reduce the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the potato is cooked through.
Add the basil and remove from the heat.
Puree the soup and taste for seasoning.
Add more stock if needed.
Serve and enjoy.

Oh I like the idea of a children's tv show. I'd be perfect, if not a tad old... Genius!! Welcome to the Dom and Jac show! ... Nice soup and I love the soda focaccia. That looks fabulous! Thanks for taking part xx
Mmmm, I love soup, especially this time of year.
I never tire of tomato soup and your soda focaccia looks fantastic too!
Lovely sounding soup. If Dom and Jac did take up presenting a children's TV show, then I'd definitely watch.
I've had agonising indigestion the last two times I made red pepper soup (a family favourite)... I had no idea people could be allergic to peppers - NOOOOO!
The tomato soup looks yummy so as the foccacia ;) Really good for this wintry days .
It looks healthy and wholesome. I must agree with the above ^^ perfect for cold days when you want to snuggle up with something warm
I do love a good wintery soup, Think I will make this for healthy packed lunches at work.
Great post

Sometimes a simple soup is just what you need for lunch. Looks yummy!
The soup looks lovely and I really like the sound of that soda foccacia too. A lovely lunch indeed.
This soup is beautiful. I would eat this with a slice of bread.
Oh this looks yum! Great idea on adding a bit of sundried tomatoes for extra oomph to a tomato soup! and you even made soda foccacia?!
Love this soup Brownie:) look delicious!
oh yum, so warm and yummy!
Interesting - I've never added potato to tomato soup before but I'd imagine it'd make a fantastic thickener. Your's is a delightful consistency!
