Ingredients
- 5 (about 600 g) tomatoes, plus 1 extra, chopped, to serve

- 750 ml (3 cups) chicken stock
- 125 ml (½ cup) vegetable oil
- 125 g angel hair pasta, broken into thirds
- ½ bunch coriander

Instructions
Process tomatoes and onion in a food processor until smooth. Transfer to a saucepan, add chicken stock and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Add pasta pieces to pan and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown.
Add pasta to tomato mixture, reduce heat to low and simmer for 15 minutes or until pasta is cooked and liquid has reduced by about a quarter. Cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes.
Add half the coriander bunch to tomato and pasta mixture and continue simmering, covered, for 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Using tongs, remove coriander and discard. Divide soup among 6 serving bowls and serve topped with remaining coriander sprigs, grated cheese and extra chopped tomato.
