ABC Tomato Soup

Ingredients
. 300gm tomato
. 60gm carrot
. 30gm peeled garlic
. 100gm red onion
. 60gm celery
. 100ml olive oil
. 60gm alphabet noodles
. 50gm tomato paste
. 500ml vegetable stock
. 50ml cooking cream (optional)
. 10gm fresh basil
. 60gm salt
. 10gm fresh ground black pepper
Method
Wash, peel and dice the tomatoes into small pieces. Spread in a baking tray, along with the carrots, garlic, onions and celery. Add olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper to season.
Place the vegetables in the oven to roast for approximately 20-30 mins, or until they have caramelised.
Add the noodles to salted boiling water and cook; set aside when done.
Once the vegetables are roasted, remove from the oven and transfer to a cooking pot. Add tomato paste and sauté for 3-4 mins.
Pour ¾ of the vegetable stock into the pot and leave to boil. Simmer for 10-15 mins on low heat. Add basil leaves and then, purée the soup using a blender.
Add cream (optional) and, if necessary, adjust the consistency with the remaining stock. Season with salt and pepper.
Arrange the noodles in a bowl, then pour the soup on top. Garnish with a dash of heavy cream and serve.
