This delicious soup uses all the colours of the Italian flag to create a truly sensational dish.
The red, green and white ingredients would also make this a lovely starter or light meal to serve at Christmas time. It’s served at room temperature, making it a nice option even when the weather is warm.
Make the mini kebabs to serve with it by slicing up and threading cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, sliced baby capsicums, basil and black olives onto skewers.
You could also serve the soup with some char-grilled sourdough or slices of wholemeal French stick.

- 1 kg ripe red tomatoes, whole
- 6 cloves of garlic, whole
- 60ml olive oil + 1 tbsp
- 1 cup fresh basil leaves
