===Method===

{{RecipeMethod
| Chop all of the [[Vegetables|vegetables]] fairly small, ½ inch cubes or smaller. It will save effort with the [[Hand|hand]] [[Blender|blender]] later and they will cook down quicker.
| Heat the [[Oil|oil]] in a large pan
| [[Fry]] the [[Carrot|carrot]] first as ths will take longest
| Add the remaining veg, [[Onion|onion]], [[Leek|leek]], [[Garlic|garlic]], [[Red pepper|red pepper]] and [[Courgette|courgette]] and cook until soft. about 10 minutes.
| Add the tin [[Tomatoes|tomatoes]], [[Sugar|sugar]], [[Stock|stock]] and purees and give another few minutes to bring back up to heat.
| [[Dried]] or fresh [[Basil|basil]] can be used, add at the last minute before blending. No need to chop first if using fresh.
| Using a [[Hand|hand]] [[Blender|blender]] straight in the pot is easiest although you can do this gradually in a worktop blender, blend until you reach a consistency you prefer.
| Freezes well and can be gradually [[defrosted]] from [[Frozen|frozen]] on a low heat on the [[Hob|hob]] or in the [[Microwave|microwave]].

===Chef's notse===
Thank you [[User:Kitchenminion|Kitchenminion]], for a wonderful recipe idea. With the addition of a cheese topping, the ingredients shown served 2 people, for 2 days. The only changes I made were to microwave the carrots first and add a pinch of [[ancho chile]] powder.
