Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

900g/2lb ripe plum tomatoes, halved

Pre-heat oven to 450F/230C/Gas 8.

Toss all the ingredients, except the vodka, sour cream and chives, together in a large roasting tin and season with salt and pepper. Cook in the oven for 30 minutes. Transfer the tomatoes to a food-processor and blitz. Pass through a sieve to catch pips and skin. Add 150ml (5fl oz) of water, taste and adjust the seasoning. Serve hot or cold with a dash of vodka added to the soup just before serving. If liked, decorate the soup with a swirl of sour cream and a sprinkling of chopped chives, and a splash of Angostura.
