Finely-diced onion, fried in olive oil until taking a bit of colour.  Added chopped crushed garlic, thyme and tiny cubes of hand-cut smoked bacon.  Cooked for 5 mins, then added orange/yellow cherry tomatoes, finely-chopped sun-dried tomatoes and some light beef stock.  Cooked 20 mins then blended to a fine creamy texture.  Served with a swirl of cream, herbs and some piping-hot soda bread with plenty of butter
