Hand blenders are cheap in the supermarket and easier you just blitz it in the pan. You will love it.
It also makes great pasta sauce.
I have made it and put turkey meatballs in it.

Enjoy xxx

Ps: 3/4 pint = to 1.5 cups (water)

You haven't entered the full amounts for the tomatoes, red peppers and tomato puree. I make that an extra 250 calories for the whole pot if you use 3 tins of tomatoes.
