Easy and healthy Ratatouille Soup

April 18, 2016 by Katie Bryson 30 Comments

A super simple soup that’s great for keeping things light at lunchtime. Roasting vine tomatoes, courgette and garlic with olive oil, sea salt and oregano provides an effortless dose of mediterranean flavour that will instantly make your life feel a little more sun drenched.

I decided to go for a half blended, half chunky approach. I find totally blended soups a bit monotonous, and roasted tomatoes and courgettes are lush to bite into for bursts of extra flavour..

I used my trusty Optimum Froothie 9400 power blender to make this soup. You can find my review of it here, but just know that I use this gadget daily for smoothies, soups and sauces!

Alongside my tasty bowl of sunshiny soup I toasted some sandwich thins and loaded them up with cottage cheese, sun blush tomatoes and a scattering of roasted almonds and torn basil leaves. Plenty of crunch and bags of flavour.

The rain may have been throwing itself at my windows, and a sea fret might have moved in for the day, but all I cared about was being indoors with my lunch while my drenched clothes dried on the radiator after a blustery walk on the beach with the dogs. Honestly, the climate up here is bonkers, so healthy comfort food like this is an absolute necessity.

Ratatouille Soup

Serves 4
Prep time: 10 mins
Cook time: 30 mins

Ingredients
500g cherry tomatoes on the vine
2 courgettes
1 bulb garlic
olive oil
1 tsp dried oregano
pinch sea salt flakes
500ml vegetable stock

Method

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Remove the tomatoes from the vine and put in a roasting dish along with the chopped courgette. Separate the garlic cloves from the bulb, removing any excess skin, but you don’t need to peel them. Add them into the roasting dish, drizzle generously with olive oil, scatter with oregano and sea salt and then roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
  2. Make up 500ml of vegetable stock and pour into a blender jug along with half of the roasted vegetables. Blitz briefly then stir in the rest of the roasted vegetables. Serve immediately or chill/freeze for later.

    Such a simple but delicious looking soup! I love to cook soup in big batches and freeze in zip lock bags for future eating. Yum!

    Your ratatouille soup looks like porridge. I’m not sure that I would love it, but I’ll give it a try. Thanks for sharing

    Ratatouille soup sounds like a brilliant invention, it would be perfect for using up a few lost vegetables I find in the fridge from time to time!
