This is really so easy. I love making soup from scratch as it really doesn't take very long, its the perfect way to use up veg and it doesn't need any of the additives and preservatives in supermarket soups. This soup is pretty much store cupboard, so it makes a perfect meal when you're low on ingredients, you could even substitute the basil for dried herbs if you needed to. I like having bread or crackers with soup as it balances the meal, adding carbohydrates and extra fibre, and I also top my soup with seeds to add protein and some crunch.
Ingredients
(Serves 2)
2 onions
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tin chopped tomatoes
a handful of basil
salt and pepper to taste
Method
1. Saute the onions with the olive oil in a pan until soft
2. Add the tomatoes and basil, and simmer over a low heat for 10 minutes
3. Take the pan off the heat and blitz the ingredients using a stick blender

5. Serve up and top with seeds and fresh basil!
