READY THE ROAST
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Spread the Onion and the Tomato on a roasting tray. Coat in oil, a sweetener, seasoning, and the thyme. Roast in the hot oven until cooked through and golden, 20-25 minutes (shifting halfway). In the final 10 minutes, add the whole, unpeeled Garlic cloves to the tray.
PERFECT PESTO
In a small bowl, loosen the pesto with a drizzle of olive oil and a splash of water until a drizzling consistency. Set aside.
SIMMER THE SOUP
When the roast has 5 minutes remaining, boil the kettle. Place a pot over a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the Tomato paste and fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Add the roasted tomato and onion, the stock, and 250ml [500ml]|#7DA0D7 of boiling water. Squeeze the roasted Garlic flesh out of its skin, adding it to the soup. Simmer until slightly reduced, 8-10 minutes.
CHEESY TOASTIE
While the soup is simmering, place a pan over medium heat with a knob of butter. When melted, add 1 [2]|#7DA0D7 slice/s of bread. Top with the cheese and close up with the remaining slice/s. Toast until golden and the cheese is melted, 2-3 minutes per side. Cut in half.
LET’S BLEND, MY FRIEND
When the soup has reduced, add ¾ of the Cream. Use a stick blender or place in a blender and blend until smooth. Season with salt, pepper, and a sweetener (if necessary).
IT’S NOSH TIME!
