Weight Watchers Spicy Tomato And Butternut Soup

I'm not into fad diets but someone I know is ;) So once in a while we pull out the recipe cards and cook something healthy. Some of the recipes are either bland, boring or just don't work. This one however works a treat and will defiantly be appearing in my packed lunch for work this winter.

Serves 6

INGREDIENTS
6 large tomatoes
1 large butternut squash peeled and deseeded
2 large red onions
1 medium red pepper
1 stick celery
1 carrot
4 cloves garlic
1 red chilli-deseeded

METHOD
1) Preheat your oven to 190C/375F/Gas mark 5. Cut the tomatoes, squash, onion, pepper, celery & carrot into chunks-finely dice the garlic & chilli.

2) Place all the veg into a roasting tin -season with salt & toss together. Roast for 45 mins turning the vegetables every 15 mins or so.

3) Put the roasted veg into a food processor with 500 ml of boiling water and blitz until smooth (do in batches if necessary).

4) Add another 500ml of boiling water to the smooth soup. Bring to the boil and simmer for two to three minutes-season to taste. Now serve into warm bowls and enjoy.
