Ingredients:

1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp cornflour (cornstarch)
950ml water
sea salt, to taste
4 large tomatoes, halved
2 carrots, scraped and thickly chopped
1 large onion, peeled and chopped

To Garnish:
double cream
freshly-ground black pepper

Method:

Melt the butter in a large, heavy-based saucepan over low heat then stir in the cornflour and fry, stirring constantly, until coloured light brown. Add the water and stir to combine then add tomatoes, carrots and onion before seasoning to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover the pan and cook over medium heat for 20 minutes.

Take off the heat at this point then pass through a fine-meshed sieve, pressing down on the vegetables to extract as much liquid as possible. Ladle into warmed soup bowls, topping each one with a tablespoon of double cream and a few twists of black pepper.
