Equipment
- 1 Soup Pot or large saucepan
- 1 roasting tray
- 1 stand blender or immersion blender
Ingredients
- 1.5 kg ripe tomatoes 3 lb, plum or vine-ripened, quartered
- 5 garlic cloves skins on
- 2 tablespoon olive oil divided
- 1 onion yellow (medium)
- 3 tablespoon white miso paste
- 1 cup raw cashews
- 1 cup vegetable stock (low sodium) 250ml
- 1 cup water 250ml
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Roast the tomatoes and garlic. Preheat oven to 190℃(375℉) and pop the tomatoes and garlic into a large roasting tray. Drizzle with half the olive oil and toss to combine. Roast in the oven for around 50 minutes or until the tomatoes have collapsed and the garlic cloves are soft. Remove the tray from the oven and set aside.
- Sauté the onion and add miso. Towards the end of the tomato roasting time, heat the second tablespoon of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat and add the diced onion. Sauté, stirring occasionally, for around 5 minutes or until the onion is soft. Stir in the miso paste and the stock.
- Add cashews. Add the cashews and a cup of water and bring the liquid to a simmer. Continue cooking for around 10 minutes or until the cashews are beginning to soften.
- Transfer tomatoes and garlic. Once the roasted tomatoes have collapsed and the garlic cloves are soft, remove them from the oven. When cool enough to handle, carefully squeeze the garlic to remove the skins. Add them and the tomatoes to the soup pot and give it a good stir. Season with pepper and bring to the boil, before lowering the heat and simmering another 10 minutes.
- Blend. Remove from the heat and cool the soup for 5 minutes. Transfer the soup in batches to a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and season if needed and serve with crusty bread or a green salad.
