Ingredients:
- 3 tins of peeled chopped tomatoes
- 2 mugs of onions, very finely chopped
- 1 cup of cream
- 4 cups of tasty stock
- A knob of butter
- A tablespoon of sugar
- Fresh basil, chopped
- Salt and pepper
Sweat the onions in a knob of butter with salt and pepper until nice and soft. Add the tomatoes, picking out any green or hard bits. Simmer for 5 minutes then add stock. Cook for another few minutes.
Add sugar, and season to taste. When every thing is soft, liquidise really well, then sieve. Finally, just before serving, Add cream and freshly chopped basil.
Tip - Make sure you liquidise this really well while it is still hot. Don't ask me why but when we tried liquidising it cold, it split the soup and made it a nasty, fake looking orange!

Hi, Just wondering how long your tomato and basil soup recipe will keep in the fridge and if you can freeze it? Thanks - Love the website. Fiona
Hi there Fiona and thanks for your message. There is a best before date on the left hand side of the lid, so that will tell you how long it will keep in the fridge. The soup does freeze well. The problem with freezing is that everyone's freezers are different it seems. I've frozen our soup for months and it's been perfect so - yes it does freeze.
All the best

Hi, I just discovered your soups last week because they were on promotion in my local supermarket, I can't believe it has taken me so long! Anyway, I love them, I have now turned my mother and my sister-in-law on to them. Great job, the first soups I have tasted from a dairy wall that taste like homemade. Keep up the good work, I can't wait to try your other products.

Lads, first of all sorry about the poor pub above, secondly that tomato and basil soup is just great altogether! You have converted yet another heathen, I really never had time for tomato soup but now this soup has changed everything - that sounded wierd. Just finished another pot of the stuff, back to work! Keep it up

Hi
I was wondering how many grams of saturated fat per 100 (or per portion)? Or if you have weightwatchers points allocated?
Is there anywhere I can find this for your other soups also as I love them but don't want to stop eating them with my weightwatchers plan!

Hi there- sorry about this. We are will get the info as soon as we can and get it up on the site. We don't have weightwatchers points but I do know that at the WW meetings they have recommended our carrot soup a lot. Sully
Righteo -on the tomato and basil the saturated fat is 2.7 grams/100g's. Hope that helps and we will get the website updated as soon as possible. All the very best. Sully
Hi - I've changed the saturated fat on the tomato soup to 2.7!
