Today I decided to make a tomato soup, an old English classic and one of my hubby’s favourite soup, but I put a little Mexican twist to it to make it more interesting, deliciuous and yes! you guessed, spicy!
So here is the quick recipe and I hope you enjoy it as much as my son Emilio and I did.

- 1/2 shallot finely chopped
- 2 tbsp fresh coriander
- 1/2 fresh jalapeño chilli finely chopped

Method
- Preheat the oven to 180 C degrees or gas mark 6.
- Place the tomatoes on a tray and sprikle some garlic, salt, pepper, thyme and oil, then place it in the oven and bake for 45 min approx
- In the meantime prepare the salsa bandera, mix the chopped tomato, shallot and jalapeño pepper, add the coriander, salt and pepper to taste and squeeze some lemon to give more flavour.
