An Italian tomato soup with great flavour and the pasta makes it a hearty meal, delicious and real comfort food!! Serve with chunks of garlic & mozzarella bread - I always make double if the family is home! NB I add garlic, and I dont always puree it, its just as nice left as a broth.

SERVES 4 -6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

30 g butter or margarine
1 small onion, peeled and chopped
1 small green bell pepper, cored, seeds removed, and chopped

450 g tomatoes, chopped
2 tablespoons tomato puree
120 g orecchiette
1 tablespoon horseradish sauce
salt & pepper

Garnish

2 tablespoons sour cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

1

This was a wonderful and tasty soup! I followed the directions exactly but I think I will try another reviewers post and not puree it next time. Thank you for a delicious dish! Made for Think Pink Breast Awareness 2009.

This was good. I wasn't too sure about the horseradish but found it brought a nice zing to it. It was like adding something spicy. The flour and puree did make the soup thicker, which was also a nice touch.

This was really tasty with an excellent flavour. The horseradish is a brilliant idea. I couldn't find any orecchiette so I just used spirals instead. I don't know if we were very hungry but two of us polished this off for dinner.
