Instructions
Use a knife to cut a cross into the top of every tomato. Put the tomatoes into a pan with hot water. Like this, the skin will loosen up and you can easily peel the tomatoes. Remove the tomatoes from the water after a few minutes and peel them.
Cut the tomatoes into pieces and cut the bell pepper into pieces too.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in a pan.
Add the green part of the spring onion, the tomatoes, the bell pepper and the tomato paste and fry for a few minutes.
Add the water and the stock cube. Bring the tomato soup to a boil and leave to simmer for about 20 minutes.
In the meantime, you can prepare the meatballs.
Put all ingredients for the meatballs into a bowl. Knead them together well and form little balls with your hands.
Use a hand blender to make the soup into a smooth mixture. Add salt, pepper, basil and oregano to the soup and taste.
Add the meatballs to the soup and leave to simmer for another 10-15 minutes. Check if the meatballs are done after about 10 minutes.
Serve the soup with some fresh basil. You can also add some lactose-free cream if you like.
