Instructions
- Roughly chop the tomatoes, onions, and garlic and fry in 2 tablespoons of oil.
- Cook until the onions and tomatoes are starting to brown.
- Blend the tomatoes, onion, and garlic with 2 cups of water.
- Strain the blended tomato mixture pressing well on the pulp to extract maximum flavor.
- Put the cream into a large mixing bowl. Add a few tablespoons of the pureed tomato base. Stir to blend base into the cream.
- Add a few more tablespoons of soup base at a time and stir until all of the base has been incorporated into the cream. Now add 2 cups of room temperature water and stir for 30 seconds until the mixture is very smooth.
- Gently warm 1 cup of chicken broth and then slowly pour in the tomato soup mixture. Stir well until the chicken broth is fully mixed in.
- Bring the soup to a gentle simmer and then simmer for 20 minutes until the soup has thickened. Do not allow the soup to boil or the cream will start to clump.
- If needed strain your soup to remove any lumps that may have formed.
- Serve each bowl with a crack of black pepper.
Notes
