Garden tomato soup
A selection of tomatoes mostly red but can be a bit wrinkled. About six to eight large ones
Put the tomatoes in a roasting tin and roast with a little olive oil for about 20 mins until squishy
Take a large 4pt saucepan. Roughly chop 2 large onions, carrots, a stick of celery and two potatoes. Add several cloves of garlic peeled but not chopped. Add two bay leaves. Sweat in some olive oil until softened a bit.
Add the tomatoes and juices from the pan. Add enough stock to cover the vegetables. Season with black pepper and a little sea salt but not too much.
Bring to the boil and simmer on a low heat for about 1hr
Remove the bay leaves. Liquidise
I also sieve this soup and thin with a little warm water. Add a couple of tablespoons of balsamic vinegar and abut four cubes of sugar to taste.
Reheat over a low heat
It makes loads so there is always some to freeze. Will keep covered for a few days in the fridge.

I tried the garden soup. very tasty with a crusty roll.
As autum is now here. And talk of rice pudding was being discussed on the forum.
I thought i'd give you my rice pudding recipe.
40z 110g of pudding rice.
141/2 oz 110g 570ml tin of evaporated milk.
1 pint of full whole milk.
11/2 oz golden caster sugar.
1 whole nutmeg. You can use the ground stuff. but i use the real nutmeg.
1oz 25g butter.
mix the evaporated milk and whole milk in a jug.
Then place he rice and sugar in an oven proof dish pour in the liquid and give it a good stir.
grate the nut meg all over. Then dot the butter on the top in little fllecks.
put the dish in the center oven gas mark 2 300 0F or 150c for half an hour.
Take it out and give it a bot of a stir. you can add raisins this point. and put it back in for a further half hour.
without stirring. This time the rice grains will have all swollen and with lovely creamy milk all round them and of course
skin.
I like to pour a little single cream in mine. but you can just eat it and enjoy it on a clod winters night.
