If they are a good price--buy lots of them and make into home made tomato soup--I do it all the time--a kilo of toatoes makes about 10 portions of soup..
Just chop tomatoes roughly, put in a pan of a little water, with a knorr stock cube-I use chicken, but I guess you could use a vegetable one. add some large pieces of carrot and celery , also a large spoonful of sugar substitute----and cook on a low heat till the tomatoes are all mushed up--I then remove the carrot and celery---but you may want to leave them.
Liquidise ---then I add one small can of Sainburys cream of tomato soup---it just adds that extra bit of smoothness-and taste--but you could leave that out---but once its all divided into 10 portions--or 8 if you are hungry, the calorie count of the soup is negligable, Add a little more water if it still looks too think. then just freeze in portions. its so nice.
All it needs on defrosting , is chuck some chopped veg in, a little cooked pasta--micowave it--a spponful of fromage frais, or lowfat youghurt---a really tasty quick, and easy lunch !!
