Homemade Cream of Tomato Soup

Out of emergency tinned tomato soup for the first time in 10 years.  Thankfully it really is easy to make (and full of veg - but don't tell the kids)

Make 4 big bowls

1 tin chopped tomatoes, or 500g fresh tomatoes
1 large onion, peeled and roughly chopped
1 large carrot, roughly chopped
1 large stick of celery, roughly chopped
200g white potato, roughly chopped
1 clove of garlic, peeled
1 tbsp olive oil
1 litre boiling water
1 tbsp tomato paste
2 vegetable stock cubes
150ml dairy or plant based cream
1 tsp paprika 

Gently fry all the vegetables in the olive oil in a saucepan until they start to turn a golden brown in places.  Add the rest of the ingredients, cover, and bring to the boil.  Simmer for 20 minutes then liquidise.
