'Abundance' tomato soup with basil oil

If your tomato plants are groaning under the weight of all their ripe fruit, or even if you've just got some over-ripe tomatoes to use up, then this is a great soup to have up your sleeve. As long as your tomatoes are really ripe you'll end up with a wonderfully sweet soup no matter what type of tomatoes you've used. The basil oil is also great for drizzling over salads, pastas or pizzas so if you want to keep it for a couple of weeks, just strain it through a sieve and store it in a sterile jar.
