2 celery sticks
6 tomatoes
100 ml tomato juice
3 garlic cloves

Method
Start by peeling and chopping your veggies.
Sprinkle some olive oil in a pot, add in the onion, carrots, potatoes, red pepper, celery and garlic cloves. Sauté with the lid on, 5-10 minutes.
Bring in the stock and 2 bay leaves. Leave to simmer until all veggies are cooked. Halfway through, chop the tomatoes and add then to the pot.
When all veggies are soft and tender, stir in the tomato juice and cook for another 5 minutes.
Remove the bay leaves and blend your soup until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, add dried basil and paprika. Avoid too much salt as the cheese is already salted.
Serve with grated parmesan, a sprinkle of olive oil, chilli flakes, pesto or/and double crème or crème fraîche. Choose your favourite toppings.
Let’s not forget about the croutons.
💚Enjoy!
