This is a great way of using up the end of your veg box. It works well with most vegetables. It's a tasty, but healthy recipe, because you don't even need to use any fat. Just prepare the veggies, chuck them in a pan with the stock and stir occasionally. My kind of after-work cooking!

This soup is absolutely delicious with full-flavoured, ripe, in-season tomatoes.

It’s got plenty of garlic in, but roasting it mellows the flavour.
