Slowly roasting tomatoes in olive oil not only gives a deep, sweet flavour to this soup, it also maximises the potential of the anti-cancer compound lycopene which is present in the tomatoes. So it's good for you, and it tastes really delicious! My first entry for our new #soupcontest

This is a rare exception to that rule Sam! You have to cook the tomatoes with a good quality olive oil for the lycopene content to be increased. Which is fortuitous because cooking them like this makes them taste so good! 😋
