Cherry Tomato Soup

A quick and simple recipe with little prep work needed, this is a delicious soup to throw together on a whim when you can’t decide what to make! This soup is packed with fibre, vitamins A and C, iron, and protein. Choosing small multi-coloured heirloom tomatoes provides a more mellow taste and additional nutrients though a normal red punnet is just as great too!
