This recipe is just as delicious without the vodka but if you do use it, add it to the soup before the cream.
Ingredients
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot, very finely chopped
- 25oz passata
- 1 tbsp chilli sauce
- 1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
- 2 tsp lemon juice
- 1 white bread, 2-3 day old
- 6 tbsp vodka
- 2 tbsp double cream
Directions
1
Heat 2 tsp of the olive oil, add the shallot and fry for about 4 minutes over a low heat until soft and translucent.
2
Add the passata, sweet chilli, Worcestershire sauce and lemon juice. Season, then cover and simmer for 5 minutes.
3
Meanwhile, use small heart-shaped pastry cutters to stamp shapes from the bread. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a frying pan and fry until golden. Drain on a plate lined with kitchen paper.
4
Serve the soup in 2 small bowls or teacups. Stir in 3 tbsp vodka and swirl 1 tbsp cream into each one.
5
Top with croutons and serve immediately. The soup will keep in the fridge for up to 4 days.
