Steps to make Smoked tomato and basil soup:

1. Preheat your bbq and insert smoking box with wooden chips on flavour bar. Prep and wash all the ingredients. In a large skillet (I used dutch oven) start searing onions, celery, garlic and fennel. After few minutes add rest of ingredients. Close the bbq and start smoking. I ve done mine for about an hour.
2. After an hour cover vegetables with water. Add bay leaves, oregano and simmer for another hour
3. After that time add some more water if its needed. Add basil and cook it for another 10 min. Blitz it. Pass it thru the sieve. Add tomato puree. Whisk. Check seasoning. I always use nutmeg and a touch of sugar to get the perfect taste.
4. Recipe can be adjusted to house environment. Vegetables can be roasted in the oven for 20 min in 180 °C. Then all can be transfered to the pot and cooked on the stove.
