"Also the product of the untimely fridge/freezer death, this is a lightly zippy concoction of tomatoes, peppers, celery, carrots and garlic, with a splash of white wine, some of my garden herbs and a totally unique twist - cucumber!"

Yields 10 cups, 1/2 cup per serving

Ingredients

    1/2 onion
    1 tbsp olive oil
    3 stalks celery
    3 carrots
    3 cubanelle peppers (or sweet bell peppers)
    1 habanero
    1 head garlic (I counted about 15 cloves)
    1 cucumber, unpeeled
    25 plum tomatoes (ish... I didn't count in the interest of using them up)
    1/4 cup white wine
    1 sprig rosemary
    3 sprigs lemon thyme
    pinch dry basil
    pinch black pepper
    pinch sea salt
    1 can tomato paste

Directions

In a food processor (in batches), finely chop the onion.
Heat the oil in a large pot and add the onion. Lower the heat and gently cook, stirring occasionally, 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, in the food processor (no need to clean) dice the celery, carrots, cubanelles, habanero and garlic.
When the onion is cooked add the diced vegetables, raise the heat to medium-high and cook until they soften.
Finally, in the food processor puree the cucumber and the tomatoes. Set aside.
Add the wine to the pot and stir in well, let cook 1 minute.
Add the herbs and pureed tomato-cucumber mixture, stir in.
Lower the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 1/2 hours.
Stir in the tomato paste and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes.
