Tomato & Smoked Mussel Soup

6 Tomatoes
1 White Onion
1 Red Pepper
2 cloves Garlic
1 pint Chicken Stock
1 handful Smoked Mussels
Olive Oil

Chop the onion and red pepper coarsely. Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and add the onion and pepper. While this is softening, chop the tomatoes coarsely and thinly slice the garlic. Add the tomatoes, garlic and chicken stock to the onions and pepper and simmer gently for 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and add the mussels. Tip everything into a blender and blend till smooth. If you're fussy you could then strain out the tomato skins with a sieve (or you could peel and deseed the tomatoes to start with) but there's no real need.
