A delicious recipe for tomato soup with yogurt.

Melt the butter in a saucepan. Cook the onion and carrot over a low heat for 5 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook over low heat for a 1 minute, Remove from heat and stir in stock, tomatoes, herbs, sugar and seasoning. Bring to the boil, cover and simmer over a gentle heat for 20 minutes.
Remove bay leaf, liquidise and return to saucepan. Stir in yogurt, seasoning and reheat soup without boiling. Serve hot. (Note: to skin tomatoes, cut a narrow slit in the skin at the top. Plunge into boiling water for 1 minute. The skin should come off easily. Tinned tomatoes, drained, may be used instead, if preferred).
