Paul's winter warmer soup

Back from a winter's walk and this one is a treat. Although there's lots of ingredients it's actually very quick to make. A cold soup that warms you up!

Method

Wash all the ingredients as necessary.

Remove the skin from the tomatoes. If you dip them into nearly boiling water for less than a minute the skins can easily be removed without cooking them.

Skin the lemon and onion half.

Discard the seeds from the green pepper.

Simply put everything except the ice into the blender

and blend until mixed but still with a bit of a crunchy texture.

Crush the ice first and then blend it in briefly.

Serve

Pour into small soup bowls and serve fresh.

Afterwards

Clean the blender
