1 Can of Diced Tomatoes

1/2 Yellow Onion

3 Tbsp Butter

1 Cup Broth (can use water)

1/2 Tsp salt

1 Whole Bell Pepper

VEGGIES NEEDED

1/2 Zucchini

1/2 eggplant

3 Tomatos

DIRECTIONS FOR SAUCE

1. On medium heat cook your onions with a little oil until it turns transparent

2. Transfer Onions into a pot and add your butter, broth and tomatoes, let this cook uncovered for 15min-25min or until the soup thickens

3. On the side panfry your bell pepper until it lightly chars

4. Wait until the soup cools a little then transfer to a blender and add your bell peppers, pulse until smooth (the texture should be slightly thick if not put this on the stove until it thickens)

5. Then take off your parchment paper/tin foil and put in oven for another 15 minutes
