Hi!
I have just bought a Thermomix, and was thrilled when I found this site by accident, particularly as there few few recipe books for the machine here. Not only are there loads of exciting recipes and helpful hints on this site, but everyone seems so genuinely kind and welcoming to each other. I have just retired from teaching, and look forward to experimenting with my new cooking toy! I have made bucket loads of tomato and red pepper soup, using the one recipe given to me by the demonstrator, so it'll be super to expand my very limited repertoire!! My poor husband was beginning to dread those words, 'I think I'll make some soup in the TM!!' Now, I shall be able to use the many delicious recipes which have been posted. The one thing which did concern me about my one and only recipe is the amount of olive oil it suggested using, 50g seems a somewhat inordinate amount.  Could I use less without it spoiling the end result? Best wishes from a very experienced UK red pepper and tomato soup maker!!!!!!!
