💭 Recipe Tips
- There is no need to remove the skin and seeds from the tomatoes, it’s something that I never do. The skin will be pureed into the soup at the last stage of making.
- If you want to remove the seeds, you can pass the soup through a sieve after the soup has been pureed. This will result in a smoother soup.
- Watch the veggies as they roast, you don’t want burnt bits.
- If you want the soup to be red in colour you must peel the zucchini before adding it to the soup. If you don’t, when the soup is pureed, you’ll end up with a greenish looking soup.
- Safety precaution – if you are using a food processor to puree the soup, allow the soup to cool before doing so. If you don’t steam can build up when processing, which can cause the lid to blow to off and spray out hot liquid.
- We like the soup how it’s made, but if you like a creamy soup, you could add 2- 3 tablespoons milk powder (or to taste) or add some milk or cream to make it a little thinner and creamier.
