CREAMY TOMATO SOUP WITH COUSCOUS
This is from a vegetarian slow-cooker recipe book I have. It's tomato soup with a great twist! Filling, tasty, and perfect for cold days. Serve alone, with salad, or grilled cheese! Last time I made it, I did not have bay leaves or basil. Instead, I added Italian seasoning before pureeing the soup. This is a soup that is easy to adjust depending on what kinds of seasonings you have on hand.

Steps:
- Put the oil, onions, celery, carrots, potatoes and bay leaves in a big casserole dish, or two saucepans. Fry gently until the onions are softened - about 10-15 mins. Fill the kettle and boil it.
- Stir in the tomato purée, sugar, vinegar, chopped tomatoes and passata, then crumble in the stock cubes. Add 1 litre boiling water and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 15 mins until the potato is tender, then remove the bay leaves. Purée with a stick blender (or ladle into a blender in batches) until very smooth. Season to taste and add a pinch more sugar if it needs it. The soup can now be cooled and chilled for up to 2 days, or frozen for up to 3 months.
- To serve, reheat the soup, stirring in the milk - try not to let it boil. Serve in small bowls for the children with cheesy sausage rolls then later in bowls for the adults as Hot Bloody Mary soup (see 'Goes well with' recipes, below).

Tips:
- Use ripe tomatoes: The riper the tomatoes, the sweeter and more flavorful your soup will be. If you don't have fresh tomatoes on hand, you can use canned tomatoes. Just be sure to drain them well before using.
- Don't overcrowd the pot: When you're cooking the vegetables, don't overcrowd the pot. This will prevent them from cooking evenly.
- Simmer the soup for at least 30 minutes: This will help the flavors to meld and develop.
- Season the soup to taste: Once the soup is done simmering, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices.
- Serve the soup hot: Creamy tomato soup is best served hot. You can garnish it with a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped parsley, or a few croutons.
Conclusion:
Creamy tomato soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a bowl of creamy tomato soup on the table in no time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
