Instructions

  1. • Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice zucchini into half-moons.

    • Add passata, vegetable stock powder and the water and simmer, stirring occasionally, until reduced, 5-6 minutes.
    • Remove from heat and stir through roasted veggies. Season with pepper.
  3. • While soup is cooking, slice ciabatta in half lengthways.

    • Place directly on an oven wire rack and bake until golden, 5 minutes.
