SuperBlend Protein Roast Tomato Soup
Directions
Preheat oven to 170C. Line two baking trays with baking paper.
Place the tomatoes and capsicums on the baking trays, drizzle with half the olive oil and season with salt and pepper blend. Roast for an hour or until the capsicum is tender. Peel the skin from capsicum once cooked.
In a medium saucepan with 3 cups boiling water, add 1 cup SuperBlend Protein. Cover and cook on a medium heat, stirring occasionally for approximately 15 minutes or until grains are tender. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, heat the remaining olive oil in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion and garlic and cook for 3 minutes or until the onion is translucent. Add the paprika, cumin and celery and cook for 5-7 minutes or until celery is tender.
Stir in the tinned tomatoes and cook for a further 8-10 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Remove the pan from the heat. Add the roasted tomatoes, capsicum and cooked SuperBlend Protein. Use a hand-held blender to puree until smooth. Return the pan to a low to medium heat. Add stock, season to taste and cook for a further 15 minutes.
Serve hot with natural yoghurt and some finely chopped basil.
