TOMATO, CHILLI AND MINT SOUP
This was inspired by a pot of soup I bought for my lunch from Delifonseca, a lovely deli and restuarant in Liverpool, UK. It was totally delicious. I tried to recreate it at home and while I didn't get it 100% the same I did make a really good approximation. I think it could be enhanced with a dollop of cream or creme fraiche if you want to but it's not vital.

CREAMY TOMATO MINT SOUP
Although tomatoes and aromatic herbs always complement each other, tender sprigs of fresh mint seem to have a special affinity for tomatoes. In this soup the mint is a sprightly highlight that serves as a refreshing foil to the richness of the cream. Other fresh herbs, such as thyme or basil, can be substituted and the soup will still be very tasty, but you really owe it to yourself to make this recipe with mint at least once. As for the tomatoes, if it's summertime choose the ripest, freshest ones you can find (a pinch of sugar will bring out their natural sweetness); at other times of the year canned will do just fine. Serve with a basket of hot garlic bread and a tossed vegetable salad.

Steps:
- 1. Melt the butter in a medium-large, non reactive stockpot over low heat. Add the onion and garlic and sweat, stirring occasionally, until translucent but not browned, about 8 to 10 minutes.
- 2. Add the flour and cook, stirring, until the mixture develops a nutty aroma, about 10 minutes. Be careful not to let the flour brown.
- 3. Add the tomatoes, breaking them up against the side of the pot with a wooden spoon if they're canned. Add the stock, tomato paste, and mint and increase the heat to high. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are very soft, about 30 minutes.
- 4. Pour the soup into a colander set over a second pot. Pass the tomatoes through a food mill and return them to the stock in a pot. Stir to blend the soup.
- 5. Whisk in the cream, then simmer, uncovered, whisking frequently, until the soup is well flavored and slightly thickened, about 15 minutes. Season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar to highlight the sweetness of the tomatoes, if desired. Serve piping hot.

Tips:
- Select ripe and flavorful tomatoes: Use fresh, ripe tomatoes for the best flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have a slightly sweet aroma.
- Use a variety of chilies: Different chilies offer different levels of heat and flavor. Experiment with a combination of mild, medium, and hot chilies to create a soup with the desired level of spiciness.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the vegetables, do not overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and becoming mushy.
- Use a good quality vegetable broth: The broth is an important part of the soup, so use a good quality vegetable broth that is flavorful and rich.
- Season to taste: Taste the soup as you go and adjust the seasonings accordingly. Add more salt, pepper, or chili flakes if needed.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs such as mint, cilantro, or basil add a pop of color and flavor to the soup. Garnish the soup with fresh herbs before serving.
