Red Pepper and Tomato Soup

One of the four Demo Recipes that we do, as Advisors, is Red Pepper and Tomato Soup so I decided to prepare some for lunch today.
First you weigh the Onion, Red Pepper, Garlic and Oil into the Mixing Bowl. Then you chop it 2 seconds/ speed 5. Scrape down the sides of the Mixing Bowl with the spatula then saute 5 minutes/ 100c/ speed 1.
Add 400g Tomatoes,Stock Cube and Water, Ground Lentils, 1 tsp Salt,1/2 tsp Pepper and 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper if using.
Cook 14 minutes/ Varoma/ speed 2.5.

 Below is a photo taken before you puree it 1 minute/ speed 10.
When you have been cooking at high temperatures in the Thermomix it slowly increases the temperature when you puree the ingredients as a safety precaution. NB this is only if the food is heated in the Thermomix it does not apply if hot food is added and then blended.

Notice the creamy consistency of the finished soup. It is very similar to Heinz Cream of Tomato Soup but without all of the additives and preservatives. We all had second helpings so that there were no left overs.
