Makes a huge amount of soup. Great to freeze. Can add cream for a change in flavor, but will no longer be vegan.

• 8290 grams ripe tomatoes, chopped
• 7 onions, chopped
• 2 stalks celery, chopped
• 3 bay leaves
• 2 tablespoons of salt
• 75 grams white sugar
• 2 tablespoons of hot paprika
• 2 tablespoons of cracked pepper
• 6 garlic cloves

Place tomatoes, onion, bay leaves and garlic into a large pot and cook for approximately an hour.

Blend mixture in batches using a food processor and place back into the pot.

Add remaining ingredients and cook for a further 1 hour or until thickened. (at this point you could add cream).

Serve with sprinkle of chopped parsley.
