Mary Berry Cooks The Perfect: Step by Step

Product Information

This recipe is inspired by the Mary Berry tomato soup recipe from her ‘Cooks the Perfect’ book. This tomato soup recipe is a great foundation to then build out flavours, such as a tomato and basil soup. Depending on how much time you have you can make tomato soup as simple or as gourmet as you like. That’s the beauty of it. Once cooked, rest in a warm place,covered with foil,before carving. This will give time for it to relax and ensuresthe most tender, delicious results. Use a sharp knife to make a score mark 2cm (3⁄4in) in from a short edge, and cut about halfway through the cake on the score line. This will be a useful starting point when you start rolling and will give you a tighter, neater roulade.

Once the water comes to the boil, time them to simmer for just 5 minutes, or they will overcook and lose their shape. They should still be firm in the middle. Immediately tip the potatoes into a colander to drain, then return them to the pan and gently shake over a very low heat for about 1 minute. This will dry them off and create rough edges that will later go crispy.

Make the icing: put the icing sugar in a bowl, then mix in the cream and enough Baileys Irish Cream liqueur to give a smooth consistency. Drizzle the icing over the top of the roulade, or pipe it using the small piping bag. Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. The base of the bowl must not touch the water. Leave until just melted, then remove from the heat, stir, and leave the chocolate to cool slightly. (See below, Make a light cake, step 1).

The Mary Berry recipe calls for the tomatoes to be passed through a seive. This will give you that clean and classic ultra smooth soup, but it also creates an awful lot of food waste. I prefer to keep all of the tomato and goodness. I also love a soup with a little texture to it.
