I think Heinz Tomato Soup is just about every child’s favourite soup. Every child except me! I still don’t like the stuff, but I do love this homemade version with plenty of garlic and basil. It must be very well blitzed though… I don’t do lumpy tomato soup!
Feeds 4 Picky Pickers or 2 adults

Ingredients:
1: Gently fry the onion and garlic in the oil until soft.
2: Add the remaining ingredients and bring to the boil.
3: Turn down the heat and allow to simmer gently for 20 minutes.
