Shop-bought tomato soups can be really salty. I created this easy-to-make recipe that uses herbs to bring out the flavours of the vegetables, making a quick and tasty meal.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
10 drops Worcestershire sauce (to taste)
Freshly ground black pepper
Sprinkle of dried mixed herbs
Handful of fresh basil leaves, washed and shredded

Method

In a thick-bottomed pan, gently heat the oil and lightly sauté the onion to release the flavour.
Add the chopped tomatoes.
Stir over a gentle heat for a further 5 minutes.
Season with Worcestershire sauce (to taste), black pepper, dried herbs and half the shredded basil.
Serve in a mug or a bowl, topped with the remainder of the shredded basil.

Although the tomatoes in this recipe count as 2 of your 5 A DAY, eating a variety of fruit & veg is important.
