Preparation

Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F)/180°C (350°F (175°C)) fan.
Slice the onion and grate or crush the garlic.
Drain and chop the roasted red peppers and sun-dried tomatoes.
Pick the basil leaves.

Cooking

Place the tomatoes, onion, and garlic in a roasting tin.
Drizzle with vegetable oil and balsamic vinegar, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat.
Roast in the oven for 10-15 mins until blistered and slightly charred.
Transfer the roasted mixture to a slow-cooker.
Add the roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato passata, tomato purée, and crumbled stock cube.
Pour in 550ml of water.
Cover and cook on high for 3 hrs or low for 4 hrs until the tomatoes are soft.
Add most of the basil leaves and blend the soup with a hand-held blender, incorporating the butter cubes gradually.
Adjust seasoning with salt, balsamic vinegar, or sugar as needed.

Plating & Serving

Pair with a grilled cheese sandwich for a complete meal.

Notes
