Hot Tomatoes ...

Thanks for your question ~ Daughter-in-distress:
How do you make tomato soup - do you use a tin of tomatoes?

Here's how I make my home-made Quick Hot Diet Tomato Soup:

It's as quick and easy as this:

Find a market and buy:
Large bagful of ripe Tomatoes, an Onion, an Orange and a Stock Cube.

Peel the skin off the tomatoes:
[Slit the skins around the circumference of the tomato with a sharp knife.
Put in a pan and cover with boiling water.
The skins will begin to curl back and you can peel them]

Chop onion and fry in a drop of oil.

Add tomatoes, stock cube, pint of water - grate some orange peel into the mix.

Cook for 20 mins or so.

Squeeze the orange and add the juice to the mix.

Add Black Pepper to taste.

Liquidise.

EAT.   [ You can add a drop of milk or fresh cream / top with croutons or cheese]

..... or all of the above.

Enjoy,
Gillian
