Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 large plum tomatoes
  • 1 onion, cut into quarters
  • 1 garlic clove, thinly sliced
  • 1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 oz. dried soup pasta
  • Salt and pepper
  • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, to garnish

Directions

  1. Pour the oil into a large heavy-bottom saucepan and add the tomatoes, onion, garlic and celery. Cover and cook over low heat, occasionally shaking gently, for 45 minutes, until pulpy.

  2. Transfer the mixture to a food processor or blender and process to a smooth puree.

  3. Push the puree through a strainer into a clean saucepan.

  4. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Add the pasta, bring back to a boil and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until the pasta is tender but still firm to the bite. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Ladle into warmed bowls, sprinkle with parsley and serve immediately.
