Spicey Tomato Soup

Hi
Very new only two days in to counting and weighing every thing!! This is a regular lunch time soup so thought I would share with you all.

As you can see I have added choritzo as an OPTIONAL ingredient due to now finding out how high the calories are in a 100g piece toooooo tasty to not add!

Total Calories - 1852
8 servings of 250ml (2 ladles)
1 serving is 231 calories
1 serving is 163 calories without Chorizo

METHOD:
Peel and chop carrots, potatoes and onion add to saucepan with the 1 tbs of olive oil - give a good shake to coat all and then put on a low heat for a few mins - long enough for the kettle to boil.

Once kettle has boiled add 1 chicken stock cube in a measuring jug with 1.5 lt of boiled water - stir cub until dissolved then add to vegetables in saucepan.

Next add tinned tomatoes - no need to chop just add
Next add the paprika, tabasco, honey and worcestershire sauce and give a stir. Turn the heat up to bring to the boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and leave until vegetables are tender.

Turn off the heat and blend with a hand held blender until smooth and no lumps.

At this stage you are FINISHED just season with salt & pepper to taste.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS:
At this stage I usually add 100g of chopped choritzo and return to the heat to simmer to allow the spicy choritzo to do its magic

To make this even more substantial depending on your calorie numbers you could add a few boiled gonocci to the soup to make a real hearty meal.

Enjoy
