Red onion and tomato soup

Spray oil
250g red onions, peeled and sliced
2 carrots, peeled and sliced
400g can chopped tomatoes
1/2 tsp dried sage
600mls vegetabel stock
1/2 tsp granulated sweetener
black pepper

spray a pan with the oil and very gently soften the red onions for about 30 minutes, stirring regularly. At the same time, put the carrots, tomatoes, sage and stock into a large pan, bring to the boil and then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Lightly blend the carrot and tomato mixture, with some of the onions, but only to a lumpy consistency. Add the rest of the onions to the mixture, together with the sweetener and black pepper, re-heat of needed and serve.
