How To Make Bloody Mary Soup

It's really easy to make this tasty tomato soup

Step One - preheat the oven

Preheat the oven to 180C / 350F / Gas Mark 4 - get our super handy oven temperature conversion chart here

Step Two - prepare the vegetables for roasting

Put the chopped vegetables into a roasting tin and tuck the garlic cloves in amongst the veggies, drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle over the toasted and ground fennel seeds, oregano and season with salt and pepper.

Step Three - roast the vegetables

Roast for around an hour or until everything is nice and cooked through and just browning.

Step Four - blend the soup

Once the vegetables are roasted – tip them and any juices into a blender (you may need to do this in two or more batches depending on how large your blender is) As you blitz slowly pour in the vegetable stock until you have a lovely thick soup.

Cooks Note! Only use hot liquids in food processors that are designed for use with hot liquids. Otherwise, wait until the liquids have cooled before blending.

Step Five - serve the Bloody Mary soup

Transfer to a large pan or soup pot to serve. (A large black dutch oven pan is good, as it's cauldron like) And arrange your Bloody Mary Toppings.
