Method

Set the oven to 220°C/425°F/Gas Mark 7. Put the tomatoes, onions, garlic, most of the rosemary and peppers in a roasting tin. Drizzle with the oil and roast for 40 mins, until the vegetables are tender and beginning to char.
Blend half the vegetables and half the stock in a processor until smooth and pour into a jug. Repeat with the remaining vegetables and stock.
Add the vinegar, Tabasco, Worcestershire sauce and vodka, if using. If you’d like a smooth texture, pass it through a metal sieve. Warm through and serve in cups with a dollop of soured cream and top with rosemary.
To freeze: Put cooled soup into a container. Freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost overnight in the fridge before eating.
