Ingredients
- One carrot
- One onion
- One clove of garlic
- One celery stick
- Olive oil
- One organic vegetable or chicken stock cube
- Two x 400g tins of plum tomatoes
- Four slices of bread
- 85g Cheddar cheese
- A few sprigs of basil
- 200ml milk
- One tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Method
Peel and chop the carrot, onion and garlic, then trim and finely slice the celery.
Place a large saucepan on a medium heat, drizzle in one tablespoon of olive oil, then scrape in the chopped vegetables.
Cook for 10 minutes with the lid on (leaving a little gap), stirring occasionally. Crumble in the stock cube, top up with 500ml of boiling water and stir to dissolve.

Tip in the tomatoes and break them up with a spoon, turn the heat up to high and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, pop the lid back on and simmer for 10 minutes, or until thickened slightly, stirring occasionally.
Toast one side of the bread slices under the grill until golden, turn over, then coarsely grate over the Cheddar and place back under the grill until oozy and melty.
Remove the pan from the heat, pick in most of the basil leaves and pour in the milk and balsamic, then blitz with a stick blender until smooth. Season.
Ladle the soup into serving bowls, slice the toast into soldiers and serve on the side for dunking.
