Tomato Soup £1.05 / £0.53 per serving

This is probably the easiest recipe you can imagine. Most students have the basic ingredients for this Tomato Soup in their cupboards and there are so many ways to spice it up. What's even better - it is very affordable and healthy!

1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 onion
1 garlic clove, crushed
400 g chopped tomatoes
2 tbsp tomato puree
400 ml water
1 beef stock cube (or vegetable stock cube)
2 tbsp soft cheese
salt and black pepper

1. Finely chop the onion and crush the garlic clove into a soup pan with vegetable oil. Lightly fry until onion is soft.
2. Add the chopped tomatoes, tomato puree, water and beef stock cube and bring to a boil.
3. Simmer for 15 minutes.
4. Add the soft cheese, salt and black pepper, and blend until smooth. Check the taste.

Spice it Up!

Use sun-dried tomato puree instead of plain tomato puree and add 1 tsp of dried Italian herbs to give it that Mediterranean flavour.
