- Make up the stock with the water according to how many cubes you're using. Bring to the boil, then keep warm in a saucepan over low heat.
- Put butter into a separate saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic and cook and stir till golden. Add the plain flour and tomato puree. Stir till a lumpy paste forms.
- Start adding the stock to the onion mixture in the pan, stirring constantly. Once all the stock is added, add the tomatoes and leave to simmer for 30 minutes on a low heat. Keep stirring at regular intervals.
- Once cooked, strain the soup through a fine sieve. Return to the hob and add the mint sauce, salt and pepper. Warm through for 5 to 6 minutes, then dish up and enjoy!
