Soup and Sandwich Anyone

I must stop banging on about the Avondale Market, click here to read about this wonderful Market
But I am thrilled with the wonderful fruit and vege.
These tomatoes were 99c a Kilo and I used them to make my Grandma's Tomato Sauce

but also I made this beautiful soup.
It couldn't be simpler
Its really important to add sugar and salt to tomatoes.
Such a simple flavour boost. Not enough to be bad for you.
Don't forget, moderation in everything.
Plus I like to add a little vinegar when I am cooking tomatoes.
Even though Tomatoes are acidic, that little sweet acid from the cider vinegar is just another boost.

So to prepare the soup

2 kilos of ripe tomatoes
Just cut off any spots and roughly large chop the tomatoes
Onto a baking sheet
Sprinkle with Sea Salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Also sprinkle over with about a tablespoon of sugar
Throw on a few sprigs of thyme
And then drizzle with Extra Virgin Olive Oil

Bake at 150C for about 30-40 minutes
Meanwhile peel 2 red onions
Slice and saute in a little olive oil
Season with Sea Salt and Pepper

Set aside

When everything is ready

Whiz
Back into the pot
Taste and add 2 tablespoons of cider vinegar
