Bloody Mary Soup

With all the sweet things now prepared for my dinner party, it was time to tackle the savoury things. I managed to make pretty much everything the day before, leaving the day of the party stress free!

The recipe contains alcohol – vodka, since it is a bloody Mary, but it is optional, and just as delicious without it. Since the vodka is added at the end, it is something that could be served on the side and added by each guest to their bowl of soup.

Ingredients for bloody mary soup

To make this soup you will need: tomatoes, red onions, garlic, fresh rosemary, red bell peppers, olive oil, hot vegetable stock, red wine vinegar, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce, sour cream, and of course vodka.

Rosemary is one of my favourite herbs – I think it adds such a great flavour to food. The rosemary I used in this recipe came straight from my garden! You may have noticed that this recipe doesn’t call for salt – I think there is plenty of saltiness from the Worcestershire sauce; but if you feel it needs to be seasoned further, please check before serving.

This soup couldn’t be easier to make!  Just chop up the vegetables and throw into a roasting pan. Add the garlic, and rosemary (which has been removed from the stalks), and drizzle with olive oil. Roast the veg in a 200C/400F oven for 40 minutes, or until they are starting to char.

Transfer the vegetables to a blender, and blend with the hot stock. You may have to do this in batches! I used an immersion hand held blender. Whizz everything until smooth and then press through a metal sieve to get remove the seeds and tomato skin.  Next, stir in the Worcestershire sauce, Tabasco and red wine vinegar.  If you are using vodka, stir that in now too.

If you are making this in advance, cool for 30 minutes, and then refrigerate until required (no more than 3 days). You could also freeze it without the vodka. Defrost before reheating, and make sure soup is piping hot before serving.

To serve, pour the Bloody Mary soup into bowls and swirl some sour cream on the top. I made some corn bread to go with the soup (I always make corn bread at Halloween!). And I also made some Baked Mummies for those who didn’t want soup (and for those that did!!)

The soup was yummy, full of flavour and the kick from the Tabasco really gave it an edge over just another tomato soup.
