Chef’s tip

Serve the soup with small, lightly toasted slices of baguette or ciabatta rubbed with garlic; top with mozzarella and/or grilled pine nuts.
For a quicker version, or when tomatoes are out of season, replace with peeled, tinned tomatoes. For a thicker consistency, decrease the amount of water to 350ml.

Couldn't be easier (especially if you use tinned tomatoes!). Add a splash of balsamic vinegar for extra flavour.
