Preparation

Step 1

Bring tomatoes, broth, wine and spices to a boil. Cover and simmer 45 minutes until peppers are tender. Puree. (I pureed with a hand blender and then put through a sieve to remove seeds and skin.)

Add sugar, cream, salt and pepper and heat through.
To serve, garnish with goat cheese, sun dried tomatoes and basil leaves.

Can be halved or thirded.
