Preparation

Step 1

Deseed and halve the red bell peppers, peel the garlic and place them together with the whole tomatoes on a roasting tray sprinkle the vegetables with dried Italian seasoning and cook at 200°C for 45 minutes.

Step 2

Whilst the vegetables are roasting, finely chop the onion and fry in a tsp of vegetable oil or spray oil until translucent.

Step 3

To the fried onions add the tinned chopped tomatoes, the tinned baked beans, the red wine, the worcestershire sauce and the balsamic vinegar, and simmer on a low heat for 10 minutes.

Step 4

Once the roasted vegetables have begun to char remove from the oven and add to the onion mix. (If you have a cast iron casserole dish it is easier to roast the vegetables in this and then add the onion mix to the roasted vegetables.)

Step 5

Add a handful of fresh chopped basil.

Step 6

Use a handblender to puree the soup, if it is too thick add a little water until it is to the desired consistency. Add salt and pepper to taste. Cover and cook on a low heat for 10 more minutes.

Try a little parmesan sprinkled on top.
