Tomato and Polenta Dumplings Soup
Tomato and Polenta Dumplings Soup
"This tomato and polenta dumplings soup is such a refreshing, light and packed with antioxidants and vitamins soup a real winter warmer and a soul-hugger like I always say. This soup is as good and refreshing if eaten in the summer when can be enjoyed even cold. Of course, to make it a little creamier and even more exciting that this soup already is, just add a dash of creme fraiche. Yumm. The taste given by the roast vine tomatoes is so unique. It is gluten free too!"

Ingredients
- For the soup 900 g vine tomatoes (organic)
- 1 l water boiling (use kettle)
- 2 small carrots (organic)
- 6 cloves garlic (organic)
- 3 peppers (red) (organic)
- 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar (optional)

- For the polenta 500ml water boiling (use kettle)
- 150 g polenta flour dry, fine or coarse
Instruction
-
Preheat oven at 180 C/ 350 F/ Gas Mark 4.
-
Peel and wash all the vegetables. Peel only 2 garlic cloves the rest leave them skin on.
-
Cut tomatoes into quarters or halves, finely chop half rosemary, peppers and onions cut into chunks, four cloves of garlic (leave skin on). Put all in a baking tray, toss them and sprinkle some salt, the olive oil and freshly grind some black pepper. Place in the oven and roast for 25-30 min. At this point you can increase the oven temperature to 200 C/ 400 F/ Gas mark 6 if you wish. Don’t forget to sprinkle the balsamic vinegar if you choose to put it in. It’s really nice I do recommend you try it.

Back to the soup again: 1. Place all the roast veggies into a cooking pan, on medium fire, put the boiling water (1l) but before, please don’t forget to squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skin ??. With the help of an electric hand blender, blend it all nicely until it becomes nice'n smooth. Season well.

2. Take the polenta into spoonful dumplings and spoon them into the soup. Cook for 5 extra minutes.

3. Serve the soup in a bowl or deep plates and why not, spoon in a small dollop of creme fraiche if you wish. Totally optional.
