Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 220°C (200°C fan). Put the tomatoes cut side up in a roasting tin with the onion wedges and unpeeled garlic. Drizzle with the oil and season with half the salt.
- 2
Roast for 35 minutes until the tomatoes are soft, blistered and dark at the edges.
35 min - 3
Squeeze the garlic from its skins. Tip everything, including the pan juices, into a large pan with the water and your ready made chipotle adobo sauce (see the base recipe).
- 4
Simmer for 10 minutes, then blend with a stick blender until smooth.
10 min - 5
Season with the remaining salt and lime juice. Add a splash of water if too thick and heat until steaming hot.
- 6
Ladle into bowls and top with diced avocado, coriander and your ready made tostadas (see the base recipe) broken into pieces.
Tips
- Roast until the tomatoes have dark edges. The char gives the smoky depth that stock would normally supply.
- Sieve the soup for a silky finish, or leave it rustic with bits of skin.
- Taste before serving. Ripe tomatoes in summer are sweet, but out of season tomatoes may need a pinch of sugar.
Storing and freezing
Cool within 2 hours. Keeps in the fridge for up to 4 days or in the freezer for 3 months. Reheat until steaming hot all the way through. Add the toppings fresh.
Questions
Can I use tinned tomatoes?
Yes. Use two 400 g tins of whole tomatoes, drained, and roast them with the onion and garlic on a tray for 25 minutes.
Can I make it creamy?
Yes. Stir in a splash of double cream, plant based cream or coconut milk at the end.
Is it very hot?
It is mild to medium. Start with 40 ml of chipotle sauce for a gentler soup and add more at the end.
