Rustic Tomato Soup with Basil Pesto Swirl

Nostalgia never tasted so smug. We start with plump, sun-blushed tomatoes—roasted till they're just shy of caramelisation—then blend them into a velvety base that’s warm, comforting, and exactly what you hope tomato soup tastes like when you're curled up in socks older than your kids. A generous swirl of basil cream folds through the lot like it owns the place—adding a whisper of freshness with just enough green to make you feel smugly wholesome. It's soup that knows its roots (hello, childhood lunches and thermos flasks) but still wants to be seen at the cool table. No thickeners, no weird sweetness—just straight-up flavour that’s a little fancy, a little familiar, and entirely freezer-friendly. Pair it with a buttery toastie or serve solo in your favourite mug. It’s the hug you didn’t know you needed, in edible liquid form. Shelf-life? Lovely. Reheat time? Flash. Leftover vibes? Unlikely.
