Spicy Tomato Soup
Very quick and easy, and guaranteed to warm your cockles on a cold winters day!
What you will need
Olive Oil
Small Onion
Dried or Fresh Chilli
2 Tins of Tomatoes
Some Tap Water
Basil (Fresh is best, but dried if you don’t have any)
Sea salt
Pepper
Crème Fraiche or Cream, – Totally optional
To make
Heat a table spoon of oil in a pan, finely chop and add the onion and chili (add chili to taste) to the pan and simmer lightly until soft
Stir in both tins of tomatoes and add about a mug full of water, let it simmer for about half an hour, give it a stir every now and then
Pop in some basil, and some salt and pepper- no measurements, just as you like it.

For an extra smooth soup, pass through a sieve and discard any chucky bits.
Now ready to serve, add a spoon of crème fraiche or cream and some basil for that extra chef like touch!
