Tomato Soup
A smooth, deeply flavoured tomato soup built on a base of onion, carrot, and garlic, enriched with double cream and finished with torn basil. The carrot lends gentle sweetness and body, while tomato purée and tinned tomatoes give it real depth. Silky enough for an elegant starter and homely enough for a weekday lunch.
